Where are you?

Written by: Maham Shahbaz

Look at you ... Where are you? 

Where do u stand?
Do you recognize the deep pit you are in?
Is it easier to think in this darkness ?
What is so familiar about it?

Maybe you fell in it again
last time when you got out by your own help,
when you patted yourself for climbing out,
when you dusted off ur weakness,
you made a vow not to fall back in , not to rely on anyone
Then why are you back in it?

Did you think that you won't fall again?
What was it that made you rely again?
The understanding statements?
The loving words?
The caring actions?
The respect ? Or the unconditional love?
The only four strongest things that make u vulnerable

maybe you were never strong to bear your own weakness
maybe falling down was the best you could ever do
now you stand in a place
where you deserve ,in this maze
where you hear the echos of your laughter , with the shadow you relied on
you can get out but you won't
the sound of that laughter is melodious
too beautiful to be left alone and forgotten..
