Pages of My Diary... *Belief of Sight*

Belief of Sight
Poetess: Saman Tariq
Written : 2008

People thought I had it all 

While i went through a silent fall

Did they ever try to feel?

The truth that my eyes conceal!

All they could see was What I had

The things I did, The Clothes I Clad

They saw in me a rising star

And not the pain, the hidden scar

They only believed what they could see

They never imagined what I could be

I had the power to conquer the earth

To give humanity a brand new birth

I could reach beyond the stars

They dint yet know my hidden powers

But all I lacked was the devotion

I was over whelmed by Emotion

I'd lost the power to realize

To see my identity through my eyes

I'd lost the complete track of time

I'd committed an unworthy crime.. 

The crime to enter this cruel life 

That seemed gentle but hurt like a knife

I too, had believed what my eyes saw

I learnt when I had been trapped in its claw

The glittery stuff was never Gold

In a market where values were sold

Where all was dealt, based on Cost

All thought they'd win, but finally Lost

And so all judged be by my price

When I knew my sacrifice 

I knew my worth was much more

But i stood hidden behind a door

My freedom had been denied its life

To gain it back is an endless strife

And so I try to barely Crawl

While People still Think.. 

I have it All !
