Identity Loss
When you lose both your way and your identity!
Identity Loss
Amidst the red expanse of Martian plains,
A human trekked, his mission complete,
His mind consumed with scientific gains,
But fate had other plans to compete.
Upon the surface of this barren land,
The man lost his path, and his identity,
Faced with a future he could not comprehend,
His heart sank with hopeless perplexity.
Miraculously, he finally found his way,
Back to Earth, with his heart filled with fear,
What once was familiar now in disarray,
He felt lost and out of his own atmosphere.
His identity lost, his connection unbound,
A foreigner in his own world, unknown and unsound.
Adel Farghal
A symbolic sonnet of a person who loses his way on Mars and loses his identity coming back to Earth!

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
