Zayna Ali Poem
To think of a place, I tried
as I left for the station
but I still couldn't decide
where do I spent my vacation?
A place, where I could hide
from my grief, my depression
Thinking hard, I looked to my side
as people left for their destination
what's wrong with my brain! I sighed
Hearing that, my brain felt offensive
An idea sparked in my mind
I went to the Transport Pensive
I selected the Saturn Slide
it was quite expensive
I could feel myself liquefied
I swirled around, it was extensive
I took the Saturn's Ring Ride
as I was landin', there came a rally
They welcomed me with arms wide
They were greetin' me open Heartedly
the native food was being cooked
they were fryin' meal, spicy and oily
I stayed in the hotel, all rooms booked
after restin' I visited the lush valley
everything I wished was granted
I ate pizza, I licked ice cream
but It was not where I belonged
and it belonged in my dream

Zayna Ali Poem
One evening, I went to the market
to observe people was my target
some sad, some laughin'
some staring some stealin'
holding their tears and smiling wide
but I can tell when they hide
Headphones in the ears, Nobody cares
about the homeless man who fears
What am I Going to eat today?
Selfish are people, these days
While eating a great meal, nobody cares
about his hungry neighbor, with whom he could share
Back biting and Showing off loud
themselves is what they care about
Nobody asks how others are feelin'
No sympathy, no sharin', no carin'
Scrolling mindlessly through the internet
staning over celebrities who don't even know them
Being a fan of fiction, ignoring the reality
Those are the people I pity
keyboard warrior, on the Internet, inserts
No facts, just useless insults
The racists', The narcissists'
Eyes clouded, Mind covered in mist
Thinking they are the best,
They are superior over the rest
What has the world become today
I wish I could fix it, to god I pray
I wish the world becomes a place
in which, of hate, there's no trace
The world becomes a place where
About the poor, the rich would care
The world becomes a place when
Justice is needed, it's there and then
The world becomes a place what
I pray for, where Doors of evil are all shut
But how? I ask
it's a difficult task
With open mind and clear eyes, I see
The change begins with me
It all begins with correcting my own mistakes
for doing so courage is what it takes
Seeing my own flaws and doing good deeds
From me, this is what the world needs
I shall start a struggle to create peace
To make this world like heaven's piece
That's the concept I grasp to, That's the hope I chase
when I think about making this world a better place

Zayna Ali Poem
I want to hate myself
But it will build a hive
A hive full of hate
I gotta trust myself
It's the only way to survive
To survive this fate
I want to hate this world
But I know it's temporary rage
Temporary rage but full of hate
I gotta follow three words
To forgive, forget and turn the page
A page of this fate
I want to hate life
But I know that I shouldn't
I shouldn't, it's a useless cant
I gotta keep livin' my life
Escape from it, I can't
I can't escape this fate
I want to hate one and all
But I can't destroy myself
Destroy myself for someone I hate
I ain't gotta please people after all
I need to believe my own self
Believe my own self to change this fate

LEAF
Rustling
Wind blowing
The Winnowing Winds
Making the leaves rustle
Close your eyes to enjoy it's voice
"Leaves rustle, wind blows, it sooths me."

Zayna Ali Poem
even if you try your best
they would still want the perfect
demotivation, discouragement,
don't let em get in your head
people never appreciate,
it is rightly said
to impress people will grant you no where
you'll just crave for attention here and there
this worldly life is just a deception
here you won't find any satisfaction
negativity doesn't deserve your attention
Do what pleases you with full passion
to find pleasure in life is quite simple
love yourself and don't live for people

Zayna Ali Poem
Through my eyes
there comes a light
but it's too bright
its blocking my sight
Just then something grabs me tight
I've felt this feeling hundreds of times
I try to break free from it's grip
But it holds on to me with all it's might
something's crawling inside
sending chills down my spine
something's on my neckline
crawling slowly, I can't define
I take a deap breath, tell myself it's fine
It's just a feeling, it'll go away in some time
But is it all inside my head?
I ask myself as I get up from bed
I can still feel it around
But I can't see, my vision's blocked out
I blink and blink but there's only darkness
I try to escape from north and south
I see a light in a distance, not too far
I chase it hoping I'd make it out
But something grabs me from behind
Drags me into the darkness as i shout
And when my screams fade away
I wake up in a sea as deep as an abyss
There's waves forming, one by one
that slowly flow out of my eyes
those waves are tears trickling down my cheeks
Rolling on my face until they fall on my knees
It's an unexplainable feeling like a fever dream
But it feels so real, I want to scream
My heart is storing up all these feelings
Until, eventually they'll bleed out through the cracks
Like ink bleeding on a paper through pen
Still, to convey this feeling, my wording lacks
I don't know the cause, don't know the reason
All I know is that I feel like I'm stuck in a prison
Trying to break free and fly away somewhere far
But my feet are chained to a metal bar
I'll appreciate a little help
but there's none around me
to help me destroy the chains
To the darkness,that are binding me
The darkness's my past calling my name
But there's None to lend me their hand
So I'm struggling on my own, in pain
trying to keep myself sane
Just like how it has always been
I'm alone, it's such a frightening scene
It's so dark that nothing can be seen
don't even know where i lean
but filled with hope or perhaps desperation
I rub my eyes in search of light
But inside my heart, feels like something has died
inside my heart, it feels like something has died
