On the wrong side of glass

On the wrong side of glass (by Ahmad Babar):
Being burnt by the sun rays
Only been a few miles but I have lost my way
Every corner leads to a dead end
Every turn has the same bend
i fall down on my knees looking for some support
Trying to figure out the words I once wrote
There's not a single cloud in sight
And no signs of a forthcoming cold night
My feet have boils, my knees scraped
To slice my throat I long for a blade
A voice inside of me tells me to have faith
And to leave the rest to fate
Laying on the ground I stare at the sun
Wondering what more is to come
My body's been reduced to a pile of bones and skin
And I have lost "me" deep within
I close my eyes and see lush green grass
But I am stuck on the wrong side of the glass
It is just a few inches thick
But more torturous then a wall of bricks
I can see all that I long for on the other side
But I am stuck here, even though I tried
Opening my eyes I see light
An urge comes up to once again fight
What will now happen is another story
Will I turn to dust or bask in glory?

Candles

Ahmad's "Candles"

Candles (by Ahmad Babar):
Candles are like life
So beautiful when they burn
In a room full of darkness
The perfect substitute for sun
But like all of us die
They die the way they live, they burn....

A Wish

I AM BACK

A Wish (by Ahmad Babar):
Walking around drenched in rain
Finally feeling immune to pain
There's nothing left for me to lose
Only the right path to chose
I am going to walk alone
Doing it all on my own
Living life as I should
Doing all that I never thought I could
Leaving my footsteps behind
For others of my kind
Hoping someday I will meet
Someone to add to my fleet
To have someone's hands to hold
Someone to embrace when life goes cold
Together to play life's game
To share our 15 seconds of fame
To find the difference between correct and right
To be the stars that lighten up other's nights
Till that person I meet I wait
Hoping that they are not too late
