He was just a draft,
Yes, a really good one,
But still, a draft.
What can I say?
I want the real thing,
I wasn’t settling for that.
if the choice to die
was mine to make
i'd probably dead by now
There were people in every room
Inthe hallway
In the street
There was no where safe
No escape
No secret harbour
Nothing
Eventually he found an alleyway
Wonderfully empty
Until he noticed the human canvas
Sitting crosslegged in the corner
That's the day he painted his first masterpiece
Thats the day that he met me
Today when I stood at my balcony,I saw a little bird spending time with it's family , unknowing the weaker nest would not last long

I saw a child , studying hard,
under the melting candle light

I saw a youth , not having both hands,
dancing on street , to earn his living

I saw a woman , painting on a canvas by holding the brush,
in her mouth cause of the loss of both hands

but one thing was common in all of them,
they all wore a beautiful smile of satisfaction,
which reflects their heart..
Someone else is happy with less what we have...
dreaming big isn't an issue..but it is , if not working hard for it..
Early in the morning,
Laying in bed,
light washing over me,
thoughts floating in my head.

Wondering what it’d be like,
Doubt seeps like morning glow.
What could I say to him?
What might he never know?

- Lost in Translation
To Rashid Khan and Qais Ahmed

During dread and death,
You use leather and willow,
To show Afghan’s strength.
Two of my favourite cricketers, Rashad Khan and Qais Ahmed, are examples of strength and character. Even though the Taliban of taken over Afghanistan 🇦🇫, we can still use sports to help achieve peace.

In the womb I got drunk
and high on ******'s junk
not even born I'm an addict
the orphanage will predict.
I've tasted and never forget
this **** storm of regret.
Adopt me and my monkey
I'll try clean but we'll see.
