This is one of the most beautifully tragic, heartwrenching poems I have read in a long, long time, and the most honest I've ever read from you as well.

I know it all hurts, and poetry is going to help release some of the pain that you otherwise don't know how. I think this is remarkable. I know things are hard but it's GOING to get better, He will provide!

The imagery here is beautiful, I'm sad that it's under tragic circumstances that this came to life. :( Prayers for you, Noura.

Awww, I must echo on Britt's comment. This poem is beautifully tragic and so expressive. I like the repetition of "all" in the second line, it really emphasizes the meaning.

I must say I absolutely loved this part:
"Our bits, sweat and hearts; I walked
through the garbage of your streets and
called it beautiful."
^ It reminded me of how we all see the flaws of our countries but we still love them and will call them beautiful despite the bad things about it.

The word choice and imagery created was perfect...

This poem really touched my heart... as we all know it's really sad what is happening in Syria.. and since you are there/ or are from there I can tell how close to your heart it is.

Well done with this poem :*

This is absolutely heartbreaking, I'm sorry about all you have had to go through and all the violence you've seen happen so close. I can't even begin to imagine it. This poem is so painfully beautiful, you really just release those emotions and give out all your thoughts straight from your heart here- it truly grabs my heart too. I agree with each person here, things well get better, there is always someone watching over you. Never forget that. Take care and never stop writing :)

I too agree with all others.... with every progressing word in the poem, i visualise an inhabitant of syria breaking out on all those turmoil, pain they have went through, those totally shattering moments...
very painful...! i dont own the power to completely soothe your pain yet i do support you through my prayers and wish that every bit of patience you undergo, god gift you thousand reasons to smile...!!:)
And lastly, this poem brought out the emotions held in me for the syrians...
Good work...^^

I can understand how terrible this is, being in Egypt and so.
Remember to hold on to faith. And pray.
