Every thing seem to be so white <br />Where am I? <br />What is that light that has a powerful bright? <br />What is that? <br />Why were you weeping all night? <br />Um alright. <br />Why are you so scared? <br />I've won the fight! ! <br />And I made my vow, <br />When victory comes, <br />I'll go running every where, <br />Unfurl peace for humankind to share. <br />But, I see you crying still, <br />It's hard on me to bare. <br />Oh goodness, I figured it out now, <br />It's your tear that I can not dry, <br />It's your spirit that I can't make it fly, <br />It's your happiness that always die, <br />But… how is that happening? And why? <br />My oh my, <br />Um sorry liberty, <br />I thought I fought with dignity, <br />But I knew later, <br />I knew that my voice was strangled, <br />before I even say a word. <br />and I knew that my arms were bobtailed, <br />before I even drag my sword. <br />um sorry liberty, <br />I thought I was ready. <br />But, when I was about to do something, <br />I was gone already…..! !<br /><br />Mousheera Shafik<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-was-gone-already/
