Malikah Awan Poems

Control
is what I did not have.
Vulnerability
took away my agility.
...

You are forever gone,
Leaving me to do nothing
but mourn
the death of someone held so dear,
...

10 years on,
And I'm still thinking of how you broke my heart
even though you promised
we would never part.
...

Loneliness:
AKA hell on earth.
Making me doubt my worth;
feeding my insecurities;
...

I feel like a stranger in my own body.
I lay awake,
Feeling like nothing but a fake;
Wondering if it would be painful
...

Intoxicated.
If my dreams lead me to you
then let me be sedated.
Your love is like a drug to me.
...

Pain
Like nothing I've felt before.
As my mind screams out:
No more, no more, no more!
...
