The Problem!!

Him
by Bel He intrudes, invades My quiet existence Penetrates my walls Stuns me with his brilliance The flames of his perfection Lick away at my core. My world is set ablaze When he is gone I am left with darkness Ashes And the tiny pieces Of what was For the briefest of moments, An overjoyed,…

Untitled
by Ayah Musaad Not normal bodies but plain skeletons painted with flesh. Heads swollen, concave stomachs, tired eyes and stick-thin legs… Kids with no childhoods, orphans; innocents forced to live in fear and stress.
