TRAGIC Poem: Unreachable, by Alhasan Zaher

I never knew
that the price of my feelings,
could be the brokenness of my heart.

My angle has always come
from a child’s eyes
who never asked for help,
even at the darkest moments
watching a parent disappear.

I did not recognize the line
between love and obsession
never learned that falling
is a part of life, too!

I have always had a destination
never occurred to me…
that every new possession,
could be the loss of an old desire.

Dreams are overpriced
and I never realized that achieving them_
means losing reality
never noticed that reaching goals_
marks the end of the journey.

Here I am today
lost between the moments
stuck in time
one foot in the abyss of the past
one foot in the abyss of the future
and I stagger,
catching the charming present.

I never knew
that the price of my thoughts,
could be the destruction of my mind.

It would never be
too late to learn
if I only had,
once more reachable end.
