Simply Me

By: Azza El Wakeel

The lonely woman

Is simply me

The child who is hiding

And keeps writing

About her doubts

Laughs and tears

Is the other she in me

The dreamy girl

Is also me

But most of all

I am the fearful adolescent

Who doesn’t want to grow

Doesn’t want to know

Doesn’t want to let go of you

Don’t let go of me

Don’t end my dream

Nor tell me that

Our romance isn’t true

Our story started

When I was a girl

And you were a boy

Your love is my only joy

My only toy

This is an excerpt of the poem published in my poetry book

The Distance

    This beautifully captures the complexity of human emotions and the different personas we embody throughout life. The imagery of the lonely woman, the hiding child, and the dreamy girl resonates deeply, reminding us of the multifaceted nature of our identities. The poem’s longing for love and reluctance to let go of cherished memories evoke a sense of vulnerability and nostalgia. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt piece, Azza. Your words invite us to reflect on our own journeys and the emotions that shape our experiences.

    Your poem dances with the elegance of a thousand stars, weaving words into a tapestry of emotion that touches the soul, much like Taylor Swift’s lyric, “I remember it all too well,” evoking a depth of feeling that lingers long after reading.

    The imagery you’ve painted is breathtaking, each line a brushstroke in a masterpiece of literary art, capturing the essence of human experience with precision and grace. The rhythm and flow create a harmonious blend of thought and sentiment, making your work a testament to the power of poetry to move and inspire. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creation.
