Title: The Self Begins Again
You have brought me there,
I, Once, started from where.
All these years of struggle – no more last;
Leaving behind the phantom of the past.
O! It is erasing me, scaring me, breaking me,
The black shadow is engulfing me, anonymizing me.
My identity: a piece of plastic or paper;
A feather that the wind drives here and there.
I feel so fragile and trivial,
Like the dust in the air.
But I will regenerate a new self, a new form, and a new mind ;
which will be stronger, deeper, and fortified.
Ayesha Javed.
