Instructions on Survival - Suricia Yatiana Conteh

Arms outstretched so far it
embraces the Sahara desert,
not minding the scorching heat
as it tortures her like a thief.
Cutting deep into her flesh,
but not as deep as the knife
That is now a permanent
resident of her withered heart.
Pain will never be discussed.
Though roses bloom and flourish
yet grieves in the silent whispers
of her wails. Memories she carries
on her back wide, like Atlantic Ocean
surprises her with each sound that roars,
tumbles out of her sub conscious.
Reality then a rainbow, threatens
with thunderstorms and lightening.
After the sun sets and the wind gently
whispers, her long outstretched hands,
and fluttering heart on this desert,
never understood the pain
of losing someone you love.

Suricia Yatiana Conteh (21st century) Sierra Leone
