childhood memories (personal post)

I remember the first time I failed my science test I ran to her banged on her door and curled up on her couch I blabbered about how much of a failure I am she looked at me and told me "rise up like the sun show them that you can do anything show them how much power you posses give them a peek of what you've shown me" then she threw glitter at my face took a photo of me and showed it to me saying that I am shining without no darkness something a star can't do . We were young then . And they still wonder how we are so close . Now I believe that I can do anything even if they say I can't you believe in me and I promise I'll 
make you proud

silklilly speaking : stand up babygirl 1st december diary entry

I am fighting in my own very soft way fighting my demons delicately wrapping the silk of my words around their necks tenderly enough to silence them but not to kill them because honestly my demons are now a part of me the little ghosts have their place carved in the curve of my waist and even though the rivers of tears have dried and turned into deep dry cracks visible scars going all over  me and my possessions i enjoy gardening them watering them with prayers so you can’t see how deep they are under all the soft pink petals unless you dig very deep in my chest then another woman will have to be born and i as you know me i as i know myself will leave for good .... Now the word is getting grayer and i am getting paler softer in a different way pinker lilac between the creases the folds of my body my eyes are getting wider my hair is harder and longer my hair is the rope that keeps me from falling into unknown pits although some of them could be harmless we aren’...

لمى -صديقي الله  الديوان الوحيد وغير المعروف لزياد الرحباني، والذي كتبه في سنّ الحادية عشرة ، منقول من «الغاوون»، العدد 7، 1 أيلول 2008 1 أنا صغير ولسادس مرّة أطفئ الشموع ما أحلى الحياة عند إطفاءة شموع سادسة ما أعرف؟ لا أعرف شيئاً لا أعرف إلا أنّ لي بيتاً بجدران سريراً وصورتَين خبزاً وماء لا غير وأصبحت دنياي بيتاً بجدران سريراً وصورتين خبزاً وماء لا غير. 2 وقالوا يوماً: إن الله صديقي ورحت أفتّش عن صديقي في الأحراج، بين الزهور في الأشجار المورقة، وراء الصخور وخافت منّي العصافير وهربت تُرى صديقي كالعصافير خاف مني وهرب؟ وسألتهم: صديقي هل يخاف؟ قالوا: يخاف ألا تحبّه. وقلت: أين هو؟ وقالوا: في كل مكان. 3 إذا جئت يا صديقي فنذهب إلى الأحراج نذهب إليها نسرقها نقول إنها لنا لي ولك، لا أحد يسمعنا إذا أردت أن تأتي فتعال قبل الشتاء في الشتاء طُرُق المجيء مسكّرة وطرق السفر يقف عليها أُناس كثيرون، لا يبكون، لا يضحكون إنهم مسافرون وعصافير تنتظر موكب الريح هل يصل صوتي إليك عبر كل هذه الأوراق المتسا...

late night awakening: one more time

2/5/2016: it's summer already and the stars I've kissed blindly in the winter cold are coming out of their hiding in tribes I recognized my star from when the earth started feeling a little tender under my feet when the words I've sent her  echoed in my ears when a feeling to just be completely embraced ,enveloped washed all over me i then looked up to meet her gaze and my insides melted i went back to feeling myself as if i was under water all this time holding my breath and suddenly my needy lungs got the air they needed. Some are asking me to visit lands where my hands can cup a tree where all the flowers it knows are those that are in my hands those sprouting from my back and the ones on my head when i'll step foot in it .they are asking me to give it a chance that i don't have in me ,telling me that it's sunny just the way i like it. and i swear I didn't stay in the wind's lands alone for that long ,chose to build and rebuild my home alone after ev...
