Confessions

Composed by Zahra Khimji

The inner stillness in me has converged
I am no longer attached to these strings
There's this longing
that I'd like to love myself
for who I am
not for what my ears tell me

I'm fighting this urge
I need to let go
arise from this space
that has left me so disheartened
yet so at peace

I'm alive but yet I stand on the brink of death
can you not see this vision
these black bags under my eyes
the smiles of a beautiful face
hide these blemishes
the rotting away of an inside
there's a time limit I can't tell you to keep in mind

I'm no longer in line
the beads have scattered
I'm looking for a better solution
to overcome
this painful disposition

And yet I pretend to have faith
that a pair of wings
will save me
will guide me through this broken road
not at all,
there is none
I'm wavering and thin
ashes in the wind.
