What's Like To Be Me Poem by Hakima Smaali

do you know what's like to be me?
trapped in a cage
darkness is all you can see
not a chapter but just a page
in the life's book of whom you should be
smart, strong, brave also sage
but still cant be free
lost in a cold cold sea
with an anchor of sorrow
drowning you down
giving up, all u are is hollow
no one is nearly around

I was happy once you were here
but now, only sorrow in the atmosphere
cried, tear after tear
it became true
my biggest fear
loosing you
me.you couldn't hear
craving out loud for you
just for you my dear

I know,
you know what's like to be me
even if the resemblance you can't see
we're just two books telling the same story
two persons sharing the same history
share the potentials to build a life of glory
but instead we follow the choices of the family
even if it meant, ever after we shall live sadly
but we will adjust, barely
it is just our destiny
we better accept and try to be happy
