"Alright" - A Poem By Syeda Fatima of BA Final Year

Picture Credit : Special Arrangement

I want everything to be alright,

Alright in the sense, 

Where I can breathe in peace,

Where my dark thoughts can see lights,

Where I can see through the fog of my darkness,

The little love and light.

I want my soul to breathe,

I want the sound of my soul shattering to find peace.

Alright in the sense, 

Where every soul can find peace,

Where I want to tell every soul, 

To know it’s okay not to be okay.

I want my shy self and dark thoughts,

To feel okay to be down sometimes.
