Accusation of An Innocent

Life has obliterated my existence

The truth well hidden

In a bottomless pit

The lies have been told

The wounds have inconceivable depths

The accusations and assumptions

Caused unstoppable misery

Oh, how I dread that day

He held a blade to my neck

While the guardians were banging on the door

I scream with all might

Yet he pays no mind

Frightened to death

Yet I shed no tear

An innocent child

Being accused of an unforgivable sin

A sin I had never encountered

The lies shadowed the truth

Like an eclipse

That will forever stand

By the day

The truth shall be revealed

I may forever be a sinner

To their eyes

May the truth be revealed

About The Poet

Abeer Faisal is a shy, sweet, sensitive, and kind student at Al Khaleej National School. She observes people to learn more about them; the most special characteristic of her is her eye that captures the littlest details. The first time she wrote a poem she was in her junior year, she said and I quote “it was the problems I faced that triggered this part of me that I never knew existed, if not for the hardships I wouldn’t be a poet.”
