Today you can't stop me
Today i am rising
These dreams which haunt me
today will be dancing
on my striving tunes
drums of anger
Roaring danger
My screams are no more silent
blow as much heads as you wish
set this canyon with more fire
Today my whole life is on your wire
I am my own destiny
Today i am your worst nightmare
I am that fair and this unfair
I am this young boy
who once needed a dream to hold on to
a future to look up for
out of your maze,He needed a shore
a day to pass without feeling guilty
of being born
I needed a teacher who was not frustrated
a school system which is not deteriorated
a playground to craft my childhood
and a chance to listen to my own voice
a space to scrap my hopes
on the wings of a flying kite
It is still me
this young man who gets to study
what he has to
this helpless shame of what is available
crashing his simple needs into luxurious taboos
made him run into the illusion of a revolution
that could one day happen
one morning, while standing in the line for loaves of bread
Daring his tears to shed
As Life Lines never end
Today i am the one who will make it come true
Today you are no more in charge
It is Me
Rising out of Me
To the world of possibility
I am your now and My tomorrow
not all your canyons can stop me
I created my own dreams Today
Delivered out of the womb of courage.
This piece was inspired by this marvelous Revolution that is happening in my beloved Egypt. this young man who stood before the canyon putting his life at front moved me.May God always give us the power and strength to stand up for our own freedom.Bless him and All Egyptian heroes who are protesting for Human freedom.

nice...great write...a story of finding one self and individuality in spite of circumstances...to rise above...
Out of the womb of courage...a powerful line...let freedom be to all in Eygpt, you can sense your courage in this write Desert....bkm
It is quite the thing happening there from my understanding...and it was inspired by the recent Tunisian revolution, no? North Africa certainly seems to be in the grips of something...and I wish all the best to your Egypt. Though as Tunisia has shown at present, one still must be reserved to some extent, pondering what will come of the changes wrought. Cheers to freedom, though, and to your wonderful tribute to all the people fighting for it. Beautiful words.
@Brian thank you so much Brian,yes..to rise above it is.
@Signed...bkm thank you ,it has been so long since we felt this taste of being able to dream of a better tomorrow..love to you dear one..:)
@Chris i agree with you Chris, change when it happens it will first be messy and chaotic but at least after a while,things will get organized, the nation which stands up once can do it 100 times more..:)

Inspiring lines, heartfelt, true. I second what Timoteo has said; left in the dark here. Wish you and your family not to fall into harm's way, my dear. Moving poetry.
Strong words I find here today, Abeer dear...Love your freedom
Wow... tight, powerful and intense!! A beautiful ode to this young man (and all that stand up for what they believe in, that stand for their freedom)!!!
You know, today (26th Jan) is celebrated as Republic Day in India.. and when I opened your page and saw the flag, I almost thought it was the Indian flag :) and it made me feel so warm and goosebumpy...
Loved your poem, girl!!
Cheers to HUMAN freedom, and to all that live (and die) for it!!!
