Struggle Poems
Shattered Echoes
by siwar ben amara
Daddy, where were you when I was just a child,
A perfect little girl, eager and mild?
I didn't ask for much—just a look, a touch—
But you slipped away; was I asking too much?
Were you running from her, from her bitter flame?
But what about me—did you even know my name?
I lied to everyone, said we were close,

The Struggle
by Samson Oloto
They told us to grow
Told us to be men
Responsibilities abound
All you have to meet
We wake up at dawn
Eyes heavy from a lack of sleep
We enter the streets
With millions of people like us
All in a race, and a constant struggle
To meet up with expectations

A song
by Wieslaw Musialowski
Translated by Przemyslaw Musialowski 9/28/2019
Dream, my Love, dream life,
let the night not scare you anymore,
we survived harder days before,
we survived more difficult years.
I could only give as much as
life itself was offering
when I still had enough strength

तू इंतज़ार कर
by Muskan Sharma
तू इंतज़ार कर,
सही मौके का
इंतज़ार कर,
जीवन संघर्ष है
कभी ना ख़त्म होने वाला संघर्ष,
जब तक जीवन है ,
तब तक संघर्ष है।
तू भी ज़रूर पाएगा ,
जो तेरा होगा।
तू इंतज़ार कर

ZINDAGI
by Ganesavi Gupta
Kuch is tarah zindagi se ye jang chal rhi hai ki, na manjil mil rhi na uski rah ka kuch pta chal rha...
Har mod par yha apno ka saath chut jata hai aur, mukh se aah! nikle to paap ho jata hai...
Par phir kuch din ki chutti dekar ye zindagi hame apno se milvati hai, aur wapas "kuch dur aur" bolkr manjil ki taraf lalchati hai...
Tab lagta hai zindagi hame chalna sikha rhi hai aur, phir tabhi achanak se hamare samne ek naya sawal rakh jati hai...
Is tarah se apni kahani Ko wo wapas dohrati hai, aur phir ek Baar hame gumrah kr jati hai..
Lekin Apne aap hi khud Ko kuch samjhana hoga, hr Dard Ko thame apni manjil pr Nazar jamana hoga aur phir usko pane ke liye ek Safar pr aye Dil ab to Jana hoga...!!!!

Nothing Wilts Faster Than a Flower in Snow
by Filip Hammarström
Nothing wilts faster than a flower in snow
No matter how much you love it, cold stiffens its growth
See, a flower thats covered by droplets of ice
Is mistaken for beauty and it comes with a price
Where no sun reaches leaves to fill it with warmth
A flower will struggle to maintain its form
Remember that rose that I gave you before
It was a piece of my heart and it left me still sore

alone and happy
by Miki Vermeulen
I cannot be alone,
And I cannot be bored.
Does that mean I like people's company?
Or am I just good at faking a smile,
And getting things done?
People say I have the best smile,
But is it real?
Am I really happy?
Or do I just lie to everyone?

Core
by S. Taylor Chew
I’d be so much better off
If I could just let you find me
Take off this mask
And just let it be
I remember when we
Were all laughing and brighter
A glimpse of the sun
The warmth of the cider

A Song Of Gratitude
by Christen Kuikoua
In the tapestry of time, where friendships bloom,
Mes amis, like petals, dispelling life's gloom.
Brothers, firm anchors in the sea of existence,
Une soeur agaçante, a tempest, a relentless insistence.
Parents, the roots, firmly grounding my being,
Leaves of wisdom, in the breeze, foreseeing.
Enemies, shadows that dance in the moonlit night,
Igniting the fire, propelling toward the light.
