Sorrow

By Halema Atrash


From my first steps to my last

This life is going by fast

With every step I take in this path I dread it.

Waking up seems tiring with no idea where I'm headed

Mind clouding moments of memories I've regretted

The air feels thick and poisonous as if my throat has a rash

Every breath feels like the last
