I love to see you
draw a face
make me a sketch
for all kinds of smiles
which one I deserve
in every party

I love to see you
choose which face is right
when I have to see myself later
in front of the room mirror
then you dress it up with laughter
and never care
that your heart is full of wounds

I love to see you
but in fact
you are wearing a mask too

Every now and then
I ask and say
I want to buy
or maybe wearing your mask
in fact you are not

**** it!
I really love to see you,
evidently

I saw an empty glass
I poured myself into it
Full, I wanted full
I drank it
I drank myself
Run out
I drank it up
I was swallowed up by force until all of it into the esophagus
I then saw the dark night sky
And it was three o'clock in the morning
Shadows, I saw shadows
And maybe it was myself
I saw a faint light from the ventilation of the bedroom window
And the street light
Also the air goes in and out of the room
I'm still sipping it
I'm still sipping it for today
I looked back at the dim light and looked for an empty glass
I poured myself back into it
Run out
Turns out, I forgot to buy it back
And I forgot myself
And I needed to go back

People are not happy, so am I.
When you feel you have a great and wonderful life,
they tell you that you don't,
and ruin your day become a part.

You have to grow with a **** life
and people who are not happy always arounds you.
They are you sometimes in others.

You can't be changed by people.
But they always go wherever you go.

People are not happy, so am I.
A modern society life wants you to be like them.
But you are not people who are not happy,
so am I.

Loving you each day I spent too much and do not get a love back from you, my dear,
is one of the most great adventure of my life.

Have you ever found me in my blank poetry?
I try to write something.
But it's too hard to think.
So I left my page without ink.

At midnight
I'm still awake
Then I get you from my head
that always shake
And think that you are fake

Many Palestinians died in being killed by Israeli armed soldiers
Why are many citizens of the world silent and as if they don't know anything?
So many people don't care?
They said it is a political problem
They said it is a religious issue
They said even though we speak up it doesn't change anything
This is a humanitarian problem
This is a form of colonization
It is a matter of peace
Those of us who do not live in Palestine may be able to live comfortably and peacefully
Without fear
Without any worries
Without feeling sad
And without crying
But, have you ever imagined how those who live there?
The bomb explosion came unexpectedly
The rocket came unexpectedly
Destroying the buildings
Destroying houses
Destroying residences
Many people have no place to live
Many people are hungry
Many people died and were injured
Many people are sad and grieving
War is not a solution
Occupation must be abolished
Peace has the right to be upheld
Zionism is a form of colonization
Never be silent for all forms of oppression and violence
Because silence is a form of agreement
Be care because we are all human
We are all human
And be human
