Hanging off a memory

Once upon a delirious night, sat a girl lost and thoughtful,  

A lover of Time, a killer from crime
Her thoughts reflect in her shadows so fine
The bare walls trigger
All that she hides inside
 She giggles to herself
As she strolls in those lies

As her thoughts delicately dance
And they delicately glide
She lets her joy decorate
Her simple eyes

From a moment of felicity
Comes misery with a bribe
That has her frown
And dares her to pull out her knife

Her sweetened eyes grow wilder and wide
Her thoughts now dance a violent style
Straight from the abyss her devil does rise
And the grip of her knife
Tightens so neatly, and unkind

She stares at him stern
As he stares back at her, sly
Jeering at her
Echoing the agony of her life

Her scream brings a shiver down every ones spine
As she rose from her chair
Charging to stab him, blind
And as the knife slides through his chest, she smiled
Looking at his now helpless
Oh his helpless little eyes

“That’s the end of you”
She murmured, “in my life”
"THAT’S THE END OF YOU”  
was all that she cried.

Free! Are we?

"I NEED TO LIVE MY LIFE THE WAY I WANT TO !" The word freedom is hypocritical in its self, as there is never really any freedom, just as there is never a perfect point of 'perfection.' Every time we walk a step closer to what we believe a free world is, we simply ignore the different sets of responsibilities that load our shoulders (till they droop). The moment we feel we're nearing what we believe freedom is, we naively overlook the different locks of life that are waiting to chain us down all over again. They're just locks of a different color, size, and kind. The concept of "freedom" is an illusion, something like a mirage, where you chase something that really doesn't exist. We cry so loudly and crib to the people closest to us, about how we're locked down in the metaphorical cages of life, without understanding that we never really get rid of those cages. Instead, as we step out of one, we tend to walk into another. Freedom is truly unde

That Man!

On a trip to Al Ain, as we cuddled ourselves in the tiny seats, the small public bus had to offer us (me and mom). I put my earphones on and rested my head on her cushy shoulder. We were waiting for the driver to collect our tickets and hit the road, as the other passengers climb into the ride that was to take us to our destination. Among the passengers stepping into the bus, a peculiar-looking man managed to catch my eye, funnily as much as his eye caught me. He did not look well dressed; his clothes looked like he couldn't afford much. His hair was unkempt, and his eyes looked worn out and wrinkled. He looked like he must have had to put in a lot of effort to pull his living in together. As he walked in, he smiled at me and picked a seat diagonally right behind mine. Our conditioned minds that are taught to be skeptical of men, especially of strangers, had me catch glimpses of him cautiously from the corner of my eye. I could tell he was staring at me fearless of being caught d
