Tonight, I Feel Sad Poem by nadia abduljabbar

Tonight I am so sad,
All past fear are coming
Back with a big smile
Mocking me,
Saying:
You see you are a victim
Again to games and tricks,
I said No it cannot be
This character is not like
Common ones.

Then why silence engulfing
Such a beautiful Feeling?
Why then darkness
Is spreading
Its wings preventing
Life from Sun light
Why roundabout ways?

I had no answer
To the doubts thrown
Like rocks on my head.

Tonight I feel sad,
For I feel helpless,
Only God knows
How I dislike
To not take control
Of incidents in my life.

Tonight I feel sad,
Because of this fear,
God created me brave,
And I hate to bend
To Fear’s threats
And mockery.

Tonight I will pray
To God to move away
Anyone who mocks me
And erase
With His tenderness
My sadness.
