Three Poems by Isida Dervishhasani

IT BECAME NORMAL

It became normal 
to be betrayed in my front,
by the only being 
who I allowed in my bed.  

I was okay by not
being cherished even
only a little bit. I idolized
you even more than life.  

It was my lifestyle, that 
I was valued less than
Zero, by you and me.
Why?

THIS MAN 

This man left his kingdom 
just to see his capacule
dance into the normal world.

He quietly stood the pain 
of being a nobody in a 
cold planet, so she can
fly like the others at her age. 

Is ironic, that he thinks,
the princess ignores
 what he did for her? 
Ceni, thank you.

LOVING OURSELVES 

Loving ourselves 
is the essence, and
the food for our lives. 
We need to cherish the 
person beneath us.

We should not lay 
our hands to beg love
to others. 

We need to look
 at the mirror, and
say, ‘’ I love you’’
to the person in 
front of us.

I am the only
reason of
my life.
