Caravan Poem by Lubna Hazeem

This place seems so deserted
Everyone's taking care of thier own affairs
And im left alone with scattered pieces
Of the twisted swirling spiral stairs

Puzzles are fun
When winning is not the case
Where the gloom lies upon
The shatterd bitter lifeless place
I will tell you where this road leads
Pointed towards the outer space
A distanct destination for preys
Who escaped and became displaced

A world that's in between
It's not at all what it seems
It's the only way to immerse yourelf in
Chasing after your disappearing dreams
Oh, i found myself somewhere where
People are not at all what they seem
While everyone's busy with thier own affairs
Im busy enjoying this comfortable scene

It's where calmness had just begun
Breathing in air with abundant lungs
And laying over the ground lit by the sun
But not just one, a hundred ones
A hundred luminous suns
And i relised that im not by myself
They're traveling down the limited lands
Travelers aboard thier caravans
And i joined them for all the limited pleasure
A hopeful medicene to cure my lonely suffer
But when the doubt in me starts to hover
I relise that pain's not just a moan of stutter

When you're losing yourself
You're out
Wandering out.....
Wandering out without a purpose
Wandering out without an aim
It brings back what you once purchased
The bitter taste of heartfelt shame
Traveling aboard a caravan
Going, going, now you're gone
You've been running, running till too long
Till too late
Going backwards only to circulate
Scared of losing what you've won
Scared of using what you begun
Too scared you didn't even try
Left yourself without a goodbye
All this energy flooding in your veins
All this penalty for a regretful change
This is not who i am
Created to entertain
This is not who i am
Below the rising disdains
Because they find it funny
They find it funny on me
They find me funny
Funny beyond belief....
