Concealed

Poetry, 0.5 min readAlfah RizanJune 11, 2019Mind, Independence, Appearances, Sri Lanka

She was the ocean
Who hid herself from the world...
Her beauty was covered
Her thoughts were deep and strange...
The world often got confused
By the calmness of her looks...
Which covered her
Beauty and the storms...
They feared being drowned
By attempting to dive deep in...
Because,
The depth of her mind
Was impossible to be read...

The Life Within Me

I have society to fear, its grueling questions. While you might be the person telling me that it is a sin to kill the embryo growing within me, I also know you are among the people who would question my character and my chastity. I know, I shouldn’t fear the world created by the generations before me, but everyone existing in its aftermath hasn’t made it easier for me. Maybe you can’t be supportive of my decisions, maybe you’ll be in constant disagreement; nor would I ask you not to be. But please, respect my being, accept my choices and do not decide them for me.

It's My Story

I was in an undefined relationship with him. We were not lovers, yet we loved each other. Time just changed everything. We became friends from neighbors. From friends to best friends, and more than friends, but less than lovers. Now time has made us strangers.

Thoughts Though

Boy is preparing his well crafted hello, girl is pretending not to see him,
The anxiety is rising, how will she react, I wonder if she likes flowers,
will he say hello, will he like my art?
Right in the middle of their thoughts, a loud bang is heard…

In Her Absence

When I entered the hospital room, she was leaning against the window on her bed. It was a warm sunny day. But her face was mirroring dark clouds which were about to rain filled with sadness and tiredness. With her gloomy eyes watching at the sun, she must be worried about the paddy she had planted in our field a month ago. That's my mother. Wherever she would be, she won't leave worrying about her vegetable farm. She must be missing home and family too.

Great Change

When diamonds are covered in mud they're seen as worthless.
It Is only when they are cleansed and in the sun that they shine and gain value.
No-one sees your beauty, your worth till you're in action no longer covered in dirt.
