Salma Khatun Poem
And so they want me to put on another show,
Smiling, singing a happy song,
Like there is nothing wrong,
so they want me to carry on.
Heads up, keep fighting, don't quit, don't cry,
You are strong, don't be sad, the tears will dry.
They keep repeating these words to me,
Like I am supposed to never fail, never scream.
Put on a mask and be a clown,
Go up there and make them laugh,
Satisfy their want and keep them light,
While i carry the burden of their darkest night.
I can't be weak, have to stand strong,
So they can hit me and blow me up again.
Some with mockeries, some with lies,
Some with praises, some with smile.
And I am not supposed to fall,
They say you are too strong so you can handle the pain,
And cut me into pieces like it doesn't hurt me at all.

Salma Khatun Poem
Alone I sit staring at the wall
Shutting up the thoughts running in my head
My mind tells me give up, go grap a knife
Cut your veins and bleed till you die
Just put an end nobody cares
You're just a loser, a stupid little girl
Who only cause trouble and sit and cry
So, end this drama,this horror night
Kill yourself and wonder no more
You caused your miseries and you deserve to die
So end this plight and carry no more
But then I hear an inner voice
Whispering to me you're stronger than this
So get up and fight, Battle on
You're all that you have
So you have to stay strong.
