Life


Life


If life throws punches at you,
You spring back up if you are grounded 
If the winds of fortune blow you off course
You find your way if you have a goal 
You find the truth amid the lies if you have never been lied to
You forgive easily if you have known forgiveness
You take the high road when people are petty
When you know benevolence
You love all people if you are loved.

But sometimes you want to stay down and cry
And sometimes you want to stay lost
Sometimes you believe the lies because the truth hurts
Often it’s hard to forgive evil
When hurt by petty you sink down low to hurt back
And some people just don’t deserve to be loved

I’m tired of standing up
Of choosing the righteous path
I want to forget reality and escape to a fantasy world
I want to strike back like a venomous snake

To punch below the belt
And show my hatred to those who deserve

Don't Ask

Don't ask me how I am   Don't ask how I'm doing   Don't bother asking how I feel   I am raw with emotion It hurts too much, it hurts to feel, to think  Asking is like picking at my wounds Making blood flow like my tears   I am one soul living two lives   Feeling for two, hurting for two   Going mad.

          My city,  You have filled my heart with longing for the future,   and tears of sadness in my eyes.  Goodbye my city,  Goodbye earthen walls,  In  you I found the joys of belonging.  I still remember the damp smell of your alleys and  And the sound of the black crows.  The shadows of your twilights have fallen on my future,  And your sunrises are in my heart.  Goodbye my city,  Goodbye my childhood. Armineh Amirian Zohrabian 1972 Arak, Iran.

I'm Simply Human

Image
Alone, isolated, forsaken. Miserable. Burdened with duty, Defeated utterly. Powerless. Guilty. Guilty of feeling self-importance. Guilty for feeling this way, Surely, compared with the multitudes I have the least suffering. What's more, I am conscious of their misery. I listen, I read and see The tragedies that befall humanity, The devastation of wars, The loss of thousands of lives Loss of country and home The brutalities inflicted on innocent people. I see the insatiable greed of dictators That will not be satisfied  Even by the blood of children and the young. I witness the poisoned minds of zealots Fed by their false prophets Out to destroy lives, values and democracy. And I am one of the multitudes That feel this pain. I'm tormented I can’t be happy with my blessings, My fortuitous ordinary life. Because I am simply human.
