' Im sore again.' A poem by Kenza Hamichi.

I’m sore, again



You sowed, I reaped

Ripped and all sore

I felt it, cold

Without socks

on my bedroom floor


Hurt my mind

throughout every casted line

Wove my words into a spellbound trap

Such a daunting curse

Seems like I secretly rehearse?


Held my eyes wide shut,

To contemplate my remains

Whispers dissed my spine

Please don’t drench me in shame

STOP smothering our pain


I wonder, helplessly

Are we all simply garnished in doom?

Sly, elusive, insatiable emotions

Heavy teardrops, untied from my eyes

Selfish, even they trickle away


I am not to be shamed,

Do not weigh out my blames

I am a human

Nothing else is expected

This is all I can say

WASITGOODFORYOU ASKS WASITGOODFORYOU:

Whether it was good for me is something I endlessly rehash. Struggles that emerge from these two conflicting concepts, good and bad, really tire my mind. So one thing I have decided to believe is the best things we are come from our worst parts. And this strangely gives me peace.
