Anything but a libyan ...

I try to go on with the flow..
Dreaming that one day this is all will be over ...
have a libration and freedom of will ...
using all the potential I have ....
doing things I meant to do !

yet I open my eyes and boy oh boy ..
I am sitting on an electric chair..
my hands are chained into the wires ...
if I move
...
it is a dead end ...

if I keep going on same track I will be not free for always ...
I read my prayers and gave up my last words ...
If you were me what would have you done ???
To be a girl ? an Arab ? Big deal !!
It is embraced to move on with life !!

but to be a Libyan ???
what choices do I have ..
as I will always be imposed on what so called social limits..
or is it the laws made to crush a human down ??
Problem is .. it is not politics nor religion ...
it is laws created by hatery !!

yes I say it proud and clear !
the only reason its down is to forbid birds to fly up high !
Go ahead cut my wings ..
Strike me down your list down ...
Is it my life or yours ??
Or is it just a passport I cursed myself with ??

In which today I am a person of no belong !
I am a victim committed of innocent crime ..
to pay my choices in exchange of freedom ??
what is freedom anyhow !
living with no invasion in safe borders ??

Guess what my life is invaded by my people !
my soul has been sold out the day I was born ..
In which today I lost the interest of being a Libyan
I lost my identify ..
my belonging ...
my believes

Who am I ?
An alien who were born away from home !
A home of acceptance ..
A home to love ...
A home where I can be myself ..
And follow my dreams ...

A dream where no capital punishment made for embracing a sister like me ..
A home with no borders ...
no limits ...
It is the home of no conditions ..
just being me matters ...

I am who I am you can not change me so please don't try
So let up the criticism put down any attempts

In which I will always be your home before you become mine ....

You are what you want to be, nothing more nothing less ... You are you because that should be who you want to be, however, society does impose restrictions but not all restriction are bad nor are they all good ... At the start your parents carve out your personality but it is you who puts the finishing touches and it is these finishing touches which people will see

I think you seem to be in a situation where you are thinking that "The glass is half empty" but Libya is not the worst place to be ...

Take Care & Fe Aman Allah

I think you will be fine in a few years time. I understand your frustrations at the moment. It will be alright. Continue being passionate and I wish you the best.
