Poetry Knowing   By Sara Tajbakhsh April 23, 2003 The Iranian She declared I am, Yet they ignored her. She had opinions and a voice, Yet she was not heard. She had feelings and heart, Yet they treated her inhumanly. She wanted to come forth, Yet they told her to hide. She found a new home here, Yet she never belonged. She wanted to be in the light, Yet she was in the shadows. She had goals beyond today, Yet they denied her dreams. I am you, Yet you don‚t know me. * Send this page to your friends * Printer friendly COMMENT For letters section To Sara Tajbakhsh * Advertising * Support iranian.com * FAQ * Reproduction * Write for Iranian.com * Editorial policy
