I Am Not

by Shafia K. Al-Mohannadi

I am not a person who stands by, a person who neglects, too much. I am not high up in the cloud nor am I buried down by the weight of things. Just things, never ask what are the things because I am not answering.

I am never an underachiever,

On no account a cheater,

In no way I am a disbeliever.

Give me anything and I will not not give back. I’m not going to run around telling lies; I’m not spending the rest of my existence thinking of what I could be yet doing absolutely nothing.

I am not a zombie fighter, regrettably. Can I make a headshot? No.
