When I Surrendered Poem by Muhiba Naik

Evil danced around
mocking at my weakened soul
While angels calmed me down
when I failed to take my breath
My eyes begged for a moment of relief
As my hands showed me my forlorn state
That dark night did not seem to end
When the Angels left me to my own state....

I couldn't console even myself
For my eyes refused to drop a tear
And I shivered with fear
when thunder roared
as I could see no ray of hope

Those wounds turned scars too quick
to be left forever on my face...
Now I get a pity look
from those who notice my scars
and I drop down my eyes and head
To let them hear the dirge
I have been singing for years
