I am you

I am from the dry desert

the sands that dance in the wind

I am from the heat of the sun

that warms our heart at the time of war

I am from the coldness of the winter

that settles in our hearts during tough times

Just because I'm a Muslim and and Afghan,

doesn't mean I'm a terrorist or Taliban

I live like every other man
I feel like every other woman
I play like every other child
I talk like every other teen
I dress like every other girl
I joke like every other boy
I am like every other person
I am you
