Time 7:43 PM September 10, 2020

 













Sometimes

Time is going by so slowly

Like, 

OMG it’s only 7:43 PM

Or

I am so sleepy 

And it’s only second period  

Or

It’s only May 5th

And I’m so ready for

Summer!


Sometimes

Time goes by 

so fast 

you get a whiplash 

Like,

Oh darn my vacation is over

Or

Wasn’t I just changing your diaper

And now you're choosing colleges? 



Sometimes

It’s as if you don’t have enough of it

Time I mean,

Like 

OMG it’s 6:00 PM and 

No dinner?

Or

Do I have enough time

To do all I must do

All I want to do

All that needs to be done

Before I die?


Sometimes

I want time to go by fast

Like when I’m in pain

And sometimes

I want time to slow down a bit

So I can smell all the roses I want.

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.
