The Sanniah Experience (TSE)

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan  With or without me, You should be happy, that’s What my parents always taught me. I recalled their words as I tried to Hold my tears at bay. Today I would leave it all behind. As I stepped into another life, A new family I would leave behind my past, My web, my nest. I would be leaving behind the people I loved the most To start something new, Another family. I was wearing my heart on my sleeve, Though reluctantly, I was moving on. My heart felt like it would explode any minute, It was as if a thousand butterflies were fluttering within me, What could I call this feeling of the in-between? Being good at playing with words was of no use at all today. What can a girl do as she leaves her memories behind? What does she do, when faced with this unwelcomed change? I tried to express myself, But I found it futile. From this moment on, I would not be me, but we. I was movin...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Fatima Zubair Writer of  A Child of the New  Millennium ''I am only one Of the many Shell shocked Dwellers. And nothing more! I wake up each day To hear the uproar Of killings Murders Massacre. And nothing more! What was just ripped Snuffed, and  Bedimmed: Was a humanity A population A people. A species so weightless- Made only more so! And nothing more. I wake up each day  To learn to succumb- because I too Am hamstrung. Hamstrung In the face of a dark,  Dark scourge Of violence Brutality Inhumanity. For I am, but A silent spectator! Just 'Leaning together' Letting go... And nothing more. But aren't we all, A froth? A lather on the sea And nothing more '...filled with straw' Weightless upon decree. Inconsequential, to the extreme? I wish we could be more!'' Share your thoughts with us in the commen...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan   You promised me a forever A happily ever after, How crazy was I? To think you could ever tell me the truth. You ruined me for me, And for the world, I desired for myself You made me think all were Just the same, that all were you. How selfish a creature you were - But my dear I know what I’m worth, And I know that I deserve much better Then whatever  you   had to offer. So adieu amigo! I hope to Never see your  face again. I hope to soar like a bird in flight Who conquers all her hearts’ Desires… what a small word - Insignificant to some, But a world in itself for my perception. I thank you, for letting me go and breaking me, So the man worthy of me could help in healing me Because he deserves my loving more than you ever did I thank you from the bottom of my being That you showed the other side of what The world could be - Ugly! And opened ...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan The sun shines deep, down on me, And it makes me feel All happy and giddy, inside It gives me warmth And joy, That I never can describe. The sun shines like an incandescent light, And shows me where I come from, and where I belong. It shows me where to go. It shines its rays on me, And makes me feel comfort and bliss, Like never before. What is it about the sun? That makes me so? When I question if I belong? It shines on me like a bright new day, A new start, A re-birth, one of a kind, It makes the doubts go away. Like a mother watching over her child. It makes me indescribably comfortable, It keeps me fuzzy and warm. And I know that I do, I do belong, no matter what the haters say, There is a place for misfits like me in this cruel world. And I know because the sun shines Deep down upon me, and chases the pain away, The sun shines its rays and love, like a mot...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By: Anum Chaudhry I wake up every day, looking at the mirror and ask myself, who am I? Am I someone important? Am I a pop star? Am I loved by anyone? Does anybody know me? Millions of thoughts drain my mind, are they relevant? Am I that worthy to be thought off? A life not so awesome but why so lone? Why so much pain? why no trust exists, does it exist at all? Then I see the people there, some living beyond continents or within. I see the joy and happiness that I have seen or given. Guilt over shadows but light finds its way back, When I see myself now, I know I am important to some. So even if I fall, even the fallen arise. So shall I and for the people who matter.

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan I often think of what we would say to our loved ones if we could send them letters after their passing. So I decided to write a series of letters to those loved ones. This being the first, from a young daughter to her father as a way t thank him for his efforts in his life and after. Dear Father, Today I can proudly tell you that I have grown up into a kind-hearted, almost-independent young woman. I say almost because although I have come a long way I still have many obstacles to cross. I'm no longer that little girl you cherished and loved, who you constantly cocooned in your embrace to protect me from the evil eyes of people and society, to cherish me tenderly and make me believe that I am on top of the world because I have you by my side. No matter what the world throws at me, I know that I can pull through because I am your daughter. Although I am your princess, I can also be a warrior. Do you remember how I used to l...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan What if I told you, I don't care what you think! What if I told you, I already love myself! My skin; My hair; My face, My all... I love each Freckle And bump, I call it all my own. I don't care what you think Because I am superwoman , Super-tall. I am phenomenal! I may be a woman Yet I know how to stand, And stand tall I do. My height – And my face May contradict My thoughts. I may be short But I know how to stand tall! I am superwoman , Super-tall. Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan One encounter Is enough, To silence, A generation. To mute A woman, To force her into The darkness of her soul. One animal attack Is all it takes To silence a woman, forever No one comes to her aid – No one They all say “hush, hush, don’t talk about it” As if not talking will silence the terror within her, As if not talking will put her perpetrator behind bars Not talking, will not help! It never does, it never will Silence for her is like cancer that slowly, painfully kills her from the outside as it does within Leaves a hollow, A shell… People say “hush, hush” as if that could ever make the pain go away – Hush! Means silence… They all mean to shush her To take her voice from her Her only weapon – And make her a helpless prey. A hollow, A body without a soul, Merely existing never living. Her parents don’t want to listen, They don’t wish to believe,...
