Best Poems Written by Nadiya Khan

Traitor

I wanted to eat with you.
You moved your plate away.

I took a different seat.
You looked at me with disgust.
Traitor.

You haven’t allowed me to live beside you.
And when I found a corner to exist.
Traitor

You asked me to speak your language.
When I learned, you mocked. Go learn yours.
Traitor.

You laughed at my clothes.
When I dressed like you
I was blamed for copying.
Traitor.

You asked me to fit in.
When I tried, got blamed for no identity.
Traitor.



I want to know
Which version of me is allowed to belong?
