Original Submission by Habiba Rahman

NOTICE..

I notice everyone, i notice everything I notice every smile, i notice every pain I notice those i love, also the ones i hate I notice all of it, cuz' that's just how I'm made I notice not to care, i notice not to shame I just notice what is there,

In the silence of my days

I see the pain in eyes, hate and all the lies If love was never there,

I wouldn't be surprised

I hate how my pained heart,

So broken in despair,

with so much there to hate,

still proceeds to care...

Everything i see, and everything I hate Even if there is bad, in bad is also great I see too much out there,

i see too much i care

But silence keeps my peace,

no one really cares

Why would they even care?

There is no heart in there..

And,

I notice that you try, that you never take rest So, let me say it's fine, to feel low at your best Nobody really cares, not many are aware Oh, i fear you may get lost,

In the land of living dead

So, if you ever need a hand,

for someone to really care,

hope you know i will help,

please don't hesitate to share...

I notice everyone, i notice everything

I notice that you're there, i notice you exist I notice and I care, i notice - i always did

I notice and I know, you always try your best.... Poetry By: Habiba Rahman
