His Other Side

Maimuna Maula

Once like a feather

Now a sharp thorn

Once like a zephyr

Now a raging storm

 

Oh how I tried

To hold it all back

Thoughts swirling inside

I’m starting to crack

 

Just let me be

Don’t come closer

Can’t you see

The person that’s under?

 

I don’t need your light

I’m fine on my own

I don’t want to fight

I’m better alone

 

This side of me

Shouldn’t have existed

Darkness beneath glory

I can’t resist it
