If It's Good Enough For You, Then It Deserves To Be Made. Don't Let Anyone Else Decide If Your Story

if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.

It's thoughtful how, as you grow older, each day reveals that to feel, to experience, is the true goal of life—the meaning of everything. To be alive is to feel down, loved, empty, happy...

It's all part of life, your life, your precious experience.

يبدو هينًا أن نغرق هنا، فما هي إلا سُنّة. كما أشعر به سخيفًا... أن نفقد ذاتنا لها. فكيف تكون غاية ضحكات طفولتنا أن تنقلب همًا؟ هينة وسخيفة، قاسية وحقيقية. أين مخرج تلك السُنّة؟ أي حائط أحاول ردمه؟ أُخلف أي من ذلك... حياة؟

تبكي صغيرتي،

تخبرني بكل أمانيها،

ألتفت إليها شاردة الذهن: أي أمانٍ؟

تسقط حجارة أخرى جنبا لنا،

أين نحيا؟

لن تُصيبنا أيٌّ منها،

فلقد اتفق الركام من حولنا على حمايتنا…

ممّن؟

أفقتُ… لقد سكنتْ،

ربما انشغلت بالأصوات من حولنا،

ونسيت ما أبكاها…

أي أمانٍ؟

شرعتُ أبكي،

وأخبرها بكل أماني…

كم أرغب برؤيتها تحت سماء أنقى،

وكم أودّ لو يحتضن الدفء قلبها،

حتى وإن قرر - تباعًا - أن يرحل عني دهرًا.

تتكئ صغيرتي على الركام لتنهض،

تربّت على كتفي: أي أمانٍ؟

أين صغيرتي؟

وأين ركامي؟

وكيف غدوتُ وحدي،

أبكي على آمالنا؟

كيف أخمدتَ الأمل بداخلي نحوك؟

حتى أن عقلي لم يعد يحاول مراوغتي،

أنظر إليك، فيهمس لي:

"لم يعد لك."

لكنّك تنظر إليّ، فتهمس:

"افتقدتُ عينيك."

لا شيء في كلماتك يتخللني،

لا شيء في وجودك يُشبهك،

كأنّك لم تكن، كأنّنا لم نكن.

كيف أخمدتَ الأمل بداخلي نحوك،

وتركتني أختبر هذا الفراغ؟

كيف لعقلي أن يرى هذا عادلًا؟

أن أتذكّرك، فينتفض قلبي،

ثم أتذكّر أفعالك… فيخمد كل شيء.

Drowned head to toe, Left breathless, but still filled with it. It’s like the feeling I have towards you, Slowly, gradually, consuming the cells, consuming the air.. Used to the pull, Didn't try to swim away, Until I forgot I was drowning. My mind floats high, My soul drifts weightless, Until suddenly— The water disappears. Was it ever here? It’s your hands, Reaching through the surface. Maybe I was never really drowning, Maybe it was always you I was submerged in, And yet my hands choose yours, As a way to survive this.
