Mehreen Mujeeb Poems

Why should we suffer?
Why should we pay?
Why should we do this everyday?
We are tired of doing this everyday
...

Look into your mirror
And tell me what you see
Is it really you?
Or someone you cannot be
...

My pen can’t write,
Feelings on my paper.
My heart and mind fight,
To find words to display;
...

Truths and lies have now made me numb,
Even tears of mine do not know why they rain.

The truth hits me as it comes,
...

The fire in his eyes,
The anger in his teeth;
Is not real.
...

Dew electrocutes the grass
Not a day it forgets
Water shatters like pieces of glass
Slowly flowing into sunset.
...

She falls
Like a mountain slipping from the sea
She’s desolate
Yet she believes.
...

God ignites fire
He ignites fire everywhere free
The flames spread wild
Planting flowers jading we.
...

Darker
Night by night
I still tip-toe in the rain.
...

Pieces of twigs bullet across
They pierce through the air
The breeze snatches leaves
The orange sky breathes through bare trees.
...
