I'll fly

A challenge to myself: A series where I write a poem every single day for 30 days.

By Maryam BatoolPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

I keep failing the path I walk

Life's shouting at, doesn't want to talk

Harder than a puzzle, clean streets—a rubble

Waking up everyday to TROUBLE, TROUBLE, TROUBLE

Every night I hear the phrase, "GIVE UP"

Every dawn kicks me and says, "GET UP"

I'm tired of crying every single noon

I stopped getting answers while staring at moon

My journey was a fairy tale you see

It's an apocalypse now and the victim is ME

But after all that pain, I still must drive through

All the promises I made to myself must come true

'Cause I can't betray that little me who dreamt

She wanted to touch the sky, and she should be sent

So, let me fall and die

Let me touch the sky

Let me hurt and cry

There will be a day—I'll fly

.

Author's Note:

I know I've been missing out a lot. But, it's never too late, is it?

Thank you for reading :)
