How Dare I (a poem)


There are lives that know
no light or sunshine
how dare I think
that my pain defines

Lives that are nothing
more than screams
how dare I think
only I have shattered dreams

Lives that struggle 
to merely get by everyday
how dare I think 
I have darkness splattered everywhere

Lives that know no peace
mayhem everywhere
how dare I think
I cannot see beyond today

Lives filled with chaos
cries and despair
how dare I think
I'm living on thin air

Lives which pray for
death in the hope it'll bring respite
how dare I think
sorry is my plight

Lives that have seen
and recognise only loss
how dare I think
I've paid the cost

Lives whose stories
rip your heart and tear
how dare I think
I need comfort and care

Lives that teach us 
important lessons
how dare I think
I'm the only one carrying a burden

How dare I think 
I'm special or different
How dare I
Almighty God forgive me for being so indulgent

-Seema Tabassum(me)
