Trapped in ForeverI'm caught


Trapped in Forever I'm caught between two lives, the life of a wife and that of a child I cry because I’m confused, Am I not only ten? But he promised bags of millet and rice If only I’d come with him I cry because I’m hurting Isn’t he forty years of age? A mischievous tear slides down my cheek but I quickly wipe it before mommy sees where’s Shahuda? You may ask. I’m a picture drawn near the sea shore I'm remembered for a while, But when the waves come it is then that I fade away... My name becomes gossip between the winds The Autumn leaves, only they whisper my name I become a deleted computer file. A soft inaudible whisper. A forgotten name, a lost face. A hidden path, an unknown fate.
