Salma Said

I don't know much about you, but I am all alone.
No one is beside me, and I am all on my own.
My dad has so much work, and he is never home.
My mom takes care of four other kids, cooking, and she is always holding a broom.
...

You said I was annoying as a little kid.
Yet you stayed by my side when no one did
Add to that, you are still whishing me the best ahead
And looking at the numbers of mistakes I did
...

In my new school, I have no friends.
Half of the year is already gone, but it just feels like the rest will never end.
I have tried to be friends with them all.
But I noticed there is a cliff somewhere, and I will fall.
...

Walking beside a tree one day
Feeling the wind coming my way
When I saw him, hide
Scared of everything, but light
...

When America bombed Hiroshima our city,
Three days later without pity,
They bombed Nagasaki and ruined the city.
Killed at least 200,000 people.
...

I look around me and feel something missing
Not that I can see, but strongly can feel….
I want to fix it, but strangely, it can't heal.
My friend had changed, and that angered me…
...

I once heard that women are like diamonds.
That they are beautiful and sweet, not like almonds.
And from my background knowledge,
I know that diamonds are expensive.
...

You've heard of me before, so stop denying.
Without me, you will probably be dying.
Dettol is my name,
Killing germs would be my aim,
...
