Besma Jemaa Poems

I like to be myself wherever I go
Whoever I meet
I want to be me but how can it be
It is scattered, shattered, dispersed,
...

Sorry, I stopped loving you
Sorry, I no more cherish you
You gave up to the majority
You melt apart in superiority
...

I may be an alien,
An illegal alien,
In an illegal world,
But I have to be MYSELF
...

I feel so unsure about the now and here
Spinning around in a restless sphere
Uncertain about any rear
Burdened by people's fear.
...

It`s amazing how good you are
It`s strange how close your heart is to mine
Words come out from our minds twice
Once from your lips, once from my pen, how nice!
...

Friendship is a fake value
When distance makes us apart
Gloomy sorrow takes over us
And jealousy renders us rivals
...

How many times have I liked to stop living when my friends were under the fire dying.
How many times have I liked to stop feeling compassionate and try to go through what they 're undergoing.
How many times have I tried not to sleep just to experience the feeling of a wink longing.
All my trials and my wishes were just in vain.
...

Oh! Lord you made me more than one
Looking always for entity
In the middle of diversity
Seeking for the ultimate unity
...

No baby,
I'm not self boasting,
I'am just trying to see any positivity in me.
I can find a multiplicity, a diverse bunch of knowledge and poetry.
...

I miss you mum and I'm still breathing your air
tasting your days
turning your ways.
I miss you and I think that one day the dream of you
...
