Double loss

💔

By Emem IniPublished about a year ago 1 min read

In my homeland, where shadows roam

I thought I'd find solace, a place to call home

But safety's just a myth, a distant dream

For on that fateful day, my world was extreme

I returned from school, with heart so light

But darkness awaited, and a terrible night

A blow to my eyes, my glasses shattered too

I was thrown from a moving vehicle, oh what to do?

Injuries mounted, pain took its toll

My phone and gadgets gone, my soul grew old

But then a miracle, a twist of fate

Everything returned, in double weight

Yet, amidst the gain, a loss did remain

Trust was shattered, like my glasses in vain

For in that moment, I realized with a sigh

In my country, safety's just a distant cry

Now I walk alone, with cautious eyes

For in the crowd, a stranger's disguise

Trust is a luxury, I can no longer afford

In my country, where safety's just a distant chord.
