Maryam is a student of Scholars Indian School, RAK. She believes that she can be anything at any time of the day; whether it’s a caring friend or a stern teacher.
She feels that probably what she want to be, or something she is good at, is right in front of me and all she has to do is open her eyelids.
Even though her poems are a form of expression , she could never completely write a poem about herself , her feelings or experiences that’s she has been through.
At the same time, she can relate to all of them.
Her poem – “HOPE”; is a conflict between the pessimist and the optimist side within each of us. It speaks of it as a mirage and also at the same time rank it as very real.
You could “leap of faith” for this hope, but also at the same time not move an eyelash.
Hope By Maryam Dehgani
A Mirage I was shown
Stranded hope I was given
To eternity I’ve been thrown
Motivation had me driven
Hope of a better place
To which we now displace
With an ever growing pace
Forgotten past without a trace
Eyes growing bigger
Tomorrow seemed to trigger
Bruised and Scared, I may now see
A glimpse of hope could set me free
For you have given this hope
Tie me to that rope
Though together we elope
No lives over which we could hope
A blurred confide I had
That Perhaps no dope
Can clear off, am glad
That yet I’m with that little ‘Hope’.
