Deep in my dark cloud
There hang Low The noose that tied
Freedom fighters from generations
Long gone
Here L lay nestled
Seeking comfort
From an unwanted womb
Abba ba bye
In the earths permanent tomb
Tied to eight
Yet so far apart
Struggling to breath suffocating, fighting
Forever fighting
Promised me forever
Placed my trust in his hold
Exhausted, broken
Here L hang low #gulnaharkhanpoetry
