Me & It Poem by Loubna Haddad

Smile, they said
Smile and IT will smile back
I did
I smiled
I smiled until i laughed
I laughed at myself
How could I be so naive
To believe
A smile could make my life

Keep smiling
They said
Keep trying
They said
IT's dark now
But IT will lighten
They said

Every Time
IT came
Just to steal all my strength

I knew,
This was a harsh game
Between me and IT

I fought hard
IT pushed back
I felt
On the ground
Paralysed
One thought came through my mind
Give up
IT is not on and will never be on your side

Though i raised
Once again
Bleeding from all my veins
I was drained

Knock knock
Knock knock

Someones is knocking on my door
I open for sure
To se IT standing there
With a wicked smile and mocking voice
IT said
You look so beautiful today
