Dismal

by: Izzah Ismail





A tale of a child, so grim

yet so wild. Looking for peace of mind.

Even for a beat of pulse,

Amidst the screams and rubbles,

of emotions that crumbles

with nowhere to cascade all the vehemence.


A tale of a child, so bleak

yet so bright. Looking for a place to reside.

Even for a blink of youth,

Amidst the ill-mannered and uncouth,

wishing for a life away from feuds.

But left unaided with wounds,

inside houses without roofs.
