The Deception
Dreading in my own thoughts
Drowning in my own tears
feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin,
hearing a lovely melody emanating from the birds.
Perhaps it’s a sign from the Almighty.
Will I be free?
Am I doomed to live in misery forever?
Who is this Almighty?
why should the Almighty save me?
drowning in my own sorrow for so many years.
I’ve wondered the difference between a serpent and an angel
a face like an angel with an angelic voice
yet, move venomously.
oh! the uncertainty.
oh! the deception.
- Nadjina C.
