This is such a powerful, but also touchingly beautiful piece, Ahlam.

Sever the umbilicals that chain you
to yesterday’s bullets, tomorrow’s gunmetal.
Follow the tracks your siblings carved,
their silent promise to bring you home, to me.
Let me take you back — 
Back to the womb.
Choose to be born this time,
and let it be today.
May you be my child again.
Back to the Womb
