A Glimpse Within - Khadija Al-Shangiti
A Glimpse Within
Paper thin,
Is the layer you’ll find
Between my soul and skin
Flipping each page
Of this worn-out book
Damaged with age
Twenty-two years
Of hidden pain
Caressing each crack
Would you keep going?
Would you turn back?
Read me slowly
Look in between the lines
Licking your lips
After each word
Believe in what you’ve read
Not what you’ve heard
I let you pull back
Every other layer
Hoping that you care
It’s where I am
Where I’ve been
I’m in no haste
I won’t show you all
I just give you a taste
I show you a layer
So paper thin
A part of me
A glimpse within
Sand
You are broken glass
From fire you turned to ash
Inside you burning flames
A player with many games
You feel like sand,
Seeping through my fingers
Out of my fragile hands
You are extraordinary!
Yet, yourself you cannot carry
What becomes of a grain of sand?
Pearls and diamonds,
Under sea and on
