Writing poems is my escape.
I wrote what i see,feel, and taste.
Some from experience,
Some fictional,
Pick out a few from my selection,
Now it's a little collection.
(From Marji's, a character from Persepolis, perspective)
I am from Revolutions and violence,
Rebellions and silence.
Illegal cigarettes, wines and burgers,
Punishments which ends in murders.
I am from shameless mothers,
And daily news filled with martyrs.
Where beating ourselves show signs of strength,
Sneaking over 10 foots of fence.
I am from eyes filled with tears,
Happiness forbidden and replaced with fear.
I am from golden keys to paradise,
Living our live through the next sunrise.
Flying from the force of bomb,
Or dancing along the national song.
A/N: I wrote this for a literature project and if you know who the author of the graphic novel is, you'll know that this poem have a similar style to the one she wrote. It's done on purpose.
Inspiration: Oretha Storey ( The author of the graphic novel, Persepolis)
