POETRY CORNER: SEE THROUGH ME
Memory Masakara 
See through me
They seem oblivious of the spears
The sword blazing through my heart
The blood oozing from my cuts
The tears l shed before letting sleep invade
The gulps of misery l swallow
The cold and sleepless nights
I wish they knew
The ocean could swallow me up and they wouldn't see
The thorny bushes welcome me, yet they can't let me in
They see my pain yet can't tame it
They see me tremble yet can't get me a blanket
The irony of their folly
I wish they knew
How far off reach the stars have become
How sharp and fierce the winds around me are
How l lament through the shadows
How my dreams have turned into mockery
Misery finds solace in my abyss of pain
The great unknown
