Kay Seif Poem
I have been stuck
In the hole that has been dug for me
My fire was snuffed
In the efforts to diminish me
I conceded
The despair overbore
The darkness shadowed over
Agony prolonged
Who am I
Are the lost gone forever
Or can it be found
When you look -
Pure intentions in mind
Then it’s reflection
Peaks through
Is this little ray of light
Enough to reignite
That spark that I’ve been missing
In my stormy night
For this search will strike
For them
For you
For me
I hope this flame can burn again
So I can be me

Kay Seif Poem
She is a nightmare,
she is the shadow that follows you on a sunny day
She is the monster under the bed your parents told you didn’t exist
She is the clouds that cover the night sky
She is the depths of the mountain no one dares to climb
She is the aura of the world
Everyone is a victim of her
Although some more gruesome than others
She can overcome you and possess you to obey her
She can attack you through the people you hold close
she always wins,
You can try to manage her
You can try to suppress her
But in the end she will not stop
Until she triumphs
She will make you cry
She rejoices in your pain
She will cause you hurt for as long as she can
As if a deadly disease
She never truly leaves you
Until the day you die

Kay Seif Poem
Every day of our lives is filled with uncertainty
It’s easy to exist
When everything else fails
We default our existence
But with love
We learn to live
Love is music
Love is dance
Love is art
Love is books
Love is whatever lights up your soul
Our souls are more important
Than the infinite universe that surrounds
When facing the things we turn away from
When facing the unknown
Love is constant
Love brings you back
from the depths of the dark
Love helps our souls to grow
Our souls define
whether we are living or existing
I chose to live
I chose to love

Kay Seif Poem
A storm is coming
The sun is shining
The birds are singing
The grass is green
That's when you know
A storm is coming
You can feel it
The tension in the air
You can sense it
The anxiety it brings
Nothing lasts forever
The high of happiness
Always brings a storm
You start to notice
The shaking in your hands
The race running through your mind
The loss of your appetite
The mess in your room
The self-isolation
A storm is coming
Darkness clouds your every thought
Everything comes raining down
As your tears flood your home
Your life thundering with anger
Hoping soon the lightning strikes you
The storm is here
Everything is destroyed
The damage is permanent
But no one seems to notice
The pain of what you’ve lost
You call for help
No one answers
Your alone
You search for safety
But you can’t escape yourself
The storm is never-ending
Until you decide to end it all

Kay Seif Poem
My sensible heart
It keeps me alive
My head commands me -
There’s no other way out
When everything crumbles
When I'm lost
I think I’ll never be found
My sensible heart
It keeps me alive
My life starts to unravel
My head starts to spiral
My faults start to surface
I want everything to - stop
but
My sensible heart
It keeps me alive

Kay Seif Poem
To this day
Their words still haunt me
I’ll never forget
The duplicity of their friendship
As little by little they tore me apart
The people I trusted were the people I shouldn’t
I was just a little kid
Surrounded by the cruelty of the world
I didn’t understand the worth of my soul
Now time has run out
I’m broken and scarred
I’ll never forget
I’m a three-dimensional being
created by the shadows of their pain
Their words were false
But to me they rang true
I’ll never forget
The tears that I cried
I’ll never forget
How my spirit died

Kay Seif Poem
Moving, passionately
Feeling your emotions deep into your bones
Letting your soul release
Giving up a piece of yourself
In order to create
Reaching into the depths of who you are
Pouring yourself out
The audience watches
But no one sees
Profound, immeasurable
The comfort
The anguish
Your heart beating out
Taking it all in
Every count
Every breath
Every dance
Telling your story
