#RaniaWrites: I Still Don’t Know
I Still Don’t Know
I still don’t know
Whether to live
Or to die
To believe
Or to deny
It’s hard to forgive
It’s harder not to try
Should I break the flow?
I still don’t know
And we carry on living
Here shines another sun
And we keep smiling
We say it’s just for fun
I still don’t know
Why some laugh
And others cry
Why some chase
And others hide
I’m too weak to resist
I search but never find
Will I ever say no?
I still don’t know
And we carry on living
Here shines another sun
And we keep smiling
We say it’s just for fun
Nothing is forbidden
Everyone’s forgiven
Tolerance is lost
And people are still laughing
Humanity’s under dust
But you are out there watching
Will corruption stop?
Will tears no more drop?
Will we break this flow?
I utterly still don’t know
And we carry on living
Here strikes another storm
And the world keeps smiling
There’s no content, only form.
* I wrote this over a decade ago when I was still a university student. I just thought it was the right time to share it with the world. I will be sharing more pieces in future blog posts. Meanwhile, let me know what you think in the comments section below 🙂

You know that I have found a notebook with poems and small scribblings , paragraphs of thoughts from when I was in my early twenties even from school. I am so happy that I kept them and reading them again I remember each situation that led me to write down my thoughts. And come to think now, I so want to re-write some poems, i am sure when the right mood and setting comes I will be able to do that. Reading your writing I wondered what you were going through, maybe something personal out of a Lebanesey situation , i had that vibe. Cant wait to read some more 🙂

I don’t remember the reason for writing this at all. I wrote many songs, I guess this was meant to be a song, given the chorus and different verses. I used to write stories from the early age of 11 or 12. I kept everything 🙂 Please share your writings via your blog too! 🙂
