Conversations always flowed.
Uncomplicated by differences,
Lalia loved eating meals at Tariq's house.
These matters never even came up,
Over meals, 
Eating them at hers,
She disliked them.
Good days,
And bad ones too.

Nothing but silence.
Mariam lay there in shock.
Time has stopped.
Its what married people do Rasheed says.
Another long pause.
The moment feeling so surreal.

Seeing the world through a mesh screen
Tight and heavy on her skull
Tripping over the hem
Hidden.
Go back turn around
Gusts of wind blowing
Nana dangling at the end
Hidden.
Hiding from her past
It was her fault
The death of her mother
She feels guilty
Hidden in her burqa

Abuse, 
This is something not everyone goes through
But Miriam goes through more than just Physical
Emotional abuse can affect someone forever, 
Especially at the age she was at. 
But little did she know 
that she would go through something way worse
Rasheed, her husband, the reason.
the reason why he died, 
Why she was beat, 
And the reason for her mental health. 
Abuse should not be taken lightly,
And that's for a fact 
So to everyone that thinks this is a joke 
I dare YOU to try and fight back

His eyes blood-shot as her body Began to rot.
The shovel swung and gave him A knot.
Rasheed looked up and soon They forgot,
He had a gun and would kill Them in one shot.
Only one choice they had,
Knowing it'll go bad.
Mariam swung a final time, 
And killed Zalmai's dad.
The guilt on Mariam's face made Her feel sad.
She cleared her throat and said 
"Whats done is done."
Almost like she was glad.]]> 2019-11-04 14:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kradcliff7/hrtrylphalx2/wish/406232616 Rasheed https://padlet.com/kradcliff7/hrtrylphalx2/wish/406235863 By: Amina Lawson

Smoke and strong cologne.
A thick bellied, tall broad shouldered shadow
With bloodshot eyes,
Anger hidden beneath a sly cheerfulness.
Forced conversation and false kindness.
Rotten nails, forcing blame,
pointing towards the innocent;
Rotten personality.
Screaming, hitting, neglect
Rasheed’s abuse looms like a dark cloud
Over all of Kabul

the man that I loved grew up with me my whole life 
Demonstrating true love for me
He both deeply cared for each other 
Tariq, my brave man, he stood up for me, fighting Khadim with his prosthetic leg. 
Our first kiss was something to always remember. 
Unlocking the keys to our soul 
That was most definitely and genuine true love

Waking up in the morning
Day by day life is the same
Rasheed and his awful pain
His treatment hurts
He beats me to help himself
It hurts me, but heals him
I cry alot thinking of my next day
As I know it will be worse than today
Day by day life gets worse
I wish I could leave this curse.

Tears, Pain, & Heartache
I should’ve listened to NaNa
Life is moving at a rapid pace
Now living with a stranger, 
Looking at the world through a Burqa
What have I done to deserve this
Eating pebbles, emotional pain, Molesting
Pushed away by the one i once loved
Thick smell of cigarette smoke

Across the dirt road
In the dark 
Almost home
What will be said 
What could be said
Fear in my head
A man in front
A man looks back
A man in fear
A man is sad
But I push forward 
I must see
But what i see
Will forever haunt
Me

Never worn a buruqa before
He helped me but it felt more like he was forcing me to put it on
Uncomfortable mesh covering my eyes while practing
Im being suffocated to death slowly 
But he doesnot care 
He only cares about his image and representation when people sees us in public 
Feeing ashamed maybe this is going to be a good way to cover up my pass

(Pg.370-371)
Mariam kept her eyes to the ground 
her executioners shadow trailing hers
Though there had been moments of beauty in her life
Mariam knew that for the most part 
life had been unkind to her 
From the minute she was born
she had been a burden to many 
Mariam wished she could see Laila again 
Wished she could hear the roar  of her laugh
Wished she could sit with her once more 
for a cup of chai and halwa under a starlight sky 
Mariam wished for so much in those final moments 
As she closed her eyes she did not feel regretful 
A sensation of peace washed over her .
She came into this world as a regrettable accident 
Yet, she was leaving as a friend, a companion, a guardian and a mother .

(Pg 7)
Jalil didn't have the dil either, 
to do the honorable thing. 
To stand up to his family, 
to his wives
to his in-laws
and accept responsibility 
for what he had done.
You know what he told his wives 
by the way of defense
that i forced 
myself on him
This is what it means
to be a women
in this world
Learn this now
and learn it well,
my daughter
Like a compass needle
 that points north,
a man's accusing finger,
always finds a women.
Always.
You remember that,

(pg 349)
In Rasheed´s eyes 
he saw murder for them both 
Mariam raised the shovel high,
raised it as high as she could
arching so it touched 
the small of her back
Mariam never felt that feeling before
She wanted to be free
Mariam brought down the shovel, 
she gave it everything

War
A bad thing in Kabul
The feeling of bombs
Bullets
Blood flying everywhere
What happened to my beautiful city

change,
what had overcome Rasheed.
Most nights his lips locked
only opening for food,
He was mean,
quick to fault Mariam.
They walked in town 
but he was never truly there.
He was easily annoyed with her.
they sat listening to music one night
amongst a winter storm,
"Are you mad at me?"
asked Mariam 
Rasheed blew the question over his head,
like the snow that was blowing outside the window.
The old genuine Rasheed had vanished like a ghost in the wintry night.
