Notes About The Poem

VOICE: Ahmad Razvi

Listen to poem:

Don'T Look Back - Edited and Reposted

Fingers linger
Thoughts flying everywhere and
Stumble
Crumble
What was I thinking, where does this 
word come from
How is it written
How come that in my head thousands of lines tumble
And not a word leaves my fingers

My thoughts fumble
What was I thinking, I cannot do this
They said I could never do this
Gather my thoughts sufficiently
Succinctly
Talk without stutter or tics
Don't they know my thoughts are racing
RAGING
Myriads images are playing 
Hide and seek:
Come catch us!

Incapacitation feeds determination
Nothing will ever be easy anymore
Better be prepared boy and write your poems
Ride your wheels
Stop speaking with your mouth
To begin with you were too loud
Anyway!
Let your hands talk for you
Even if it takes your brain a while
To make your fingers type that smile
It isn't courage that you lack,
So work, and don't look back!
