B City Feelings

under beirut’s sky

where I feel

safe but threatened

anxious but comfortable

happy but sad

my heart is full , my mind is confused

my mind is relaxed , my heart is bruised

heavy antithesis,

but this is how reality is.

I look at the sea and hope for a better tomorrow

I look at the streets and remember the sorrow

the nightmare that took place

and that left a heavy trace

glass still on the floor

hearts still feeling sore

I want to believe tomorrow will be better

I want to believe there will be no terror
