Sajdah Al-Riyami Poet Rhyme

Saj,Party's Over

Unnerving sense of Ire

Coming from a Thwarted Father

Sadness and all

Just want to fall

Flat on my face

With unusual grace

Breathe-taken 

I just can’t Flippin’ Breathe

Shaken

The world around me unseen

Dancing pictures on the roof

My dad!

 Aloof-

I’m just so sad…

I’m choking

Choking by the mood

Dad, The mood around you lurking

Turning it a feud

Looking down on me

From the roof again

Here is not where I want to be

Trouble, I’m a forced fan

Dad says: “Saj,

Party’s over.”

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen June 15, 2009 at 5:11 AM Saj, You sadness shows clearly through this poem. Suggestion: Let your dad know that you love him. Remember to honor your parents. And be true to self. Tricky!!! Judgement: Only God can accurately do that. No one else, sometimes not even oneselves, knows the heart. Hopefully, you'll find YOUR right way. And will make your God on high happy with your choices. Then, maybe your Dad will be glad, too. Learning how to live, takes time. Respect yourself and show care. Lovingly, Dane

People have a funny way of showing love.
