Dancing with the sea (by Ahmad Babar):

As I dance to the tunes of life

How I wish things were different

But the more I try, the more it hurts

Why is pain the only thing consistent?

Life was a beautiful melody once

Now it's nothing but a house of clay

Tonight even the stars laugh at me

I am finally out of words to say

Can't take in more hurt

Why can't I have some luck?

I want to move on

But my life is stuck

I have given it all I had

All to no avail

My ship wrecked and sunk

Just as I set to sail

I tried to hang on to the life buoy

Searching for a shore to reach

My feet paddled as the waves pushed me back

Further and further away from the beach

The life house beam shows me light

But no one can see me

I try shouting for help

But my voice is drowned by the sea

Slowly I lose conscience

Only to be woken by a hand

The sun blazes in my eyes

As I lay sprawled on the sand

There are people gathered all around

Their worried whispers are all I can hear

They are wondering to whom my body belongs

As the truth hits me, its not something I can bear
