Untitled for Now

By Abdulrahman AlBanna

A journey Through the hardships of life. The struggles, The darkness within, The rights, The wrongs. To a moment, A simple moment Of clarity, Leading to Self-discovery. We each have our own journeys in life: paths we are forced to take, and passageways through which we all struggle. Darkness surrounds us, slowly consuming us, and a darkness within screams out the names of every sin. Every restless night, every tiresome day, every tearful fight, and every word we couldn’t say. The rights and wrongs. The sorrows and heartbreaks. The times we were forced to play along. All of our mistakes. All of them. Everything leads to a moment that changes everything. A moment marking a new chapter in our lives. A moment of clarity, where we finally see the truth, where we finally see ourselves. A moment where we have a decision to make. A moment of choice, leading to self-discovery and marking yet another journey. A new journey, like all our other journeys. Darkness and light. Fight after fight. Nothing is right; nothing is wrong. This was justice all along. A path we must take for our own sake, to finally be able to see. A path for you. A path for me.

Acknowledgement

First of all, I would like to thank my family for their constant love and support.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to my dearest friends – without you guys this book would still be a dream.

Special thanks to Rawan and Meri for helping me bring this book to life.

Abadii for being the beacon of light when I was in darkness.

GMASBR, BC, WHCE, love you all.

Allure of Darkness

The allure of darkness is very strong, temptation

It pulls you toward a never-ending leave

Burns out your lungs, suffocation

Drowning, unable to breathe

No process, devastation

Alone in a dream

No chances, recreation

Being your own fear.

Alone

Alone

No protection

On my own

No redemption

No change

Nothing strange

Just a view

And an assumption

Growing older

Growing wise

Being bolder

Able to rise

Alone

Standing

Nowhere to go

Alone

Stranded

No one to know.

I Had a Dream

And then you’d start a conversation saying,

I had a dream.

I had a dream and you were there

There was a demon, you were scared

We were both flying in the air

I had a dream…

Love Eclipse

I was the sun

You were the moon

We had our fun

Now it’s ending too soon

I call my mum

You call your friends

I tell her it’s done

You tell them ’tis the end

When we first met

I thought you were cute

It was in my head

When I couldn’t refute

All the things that you said

Even though you were wrong

So I loved you instead

Now I’m
