Polaroid Photo

Polaroid Photo

I’m eighteen and alone

I’m so afraid

Fear is everywhere.

I wish Hassan had been with us today,

The Sultans of Kabul

Kabul was my home

Pink house at the end

Where are the trees?

Zendagi migzara, life goes on

Brother’s face

Broke into tears

Taliban banned kite fighting.

Kites will fly

For him,

For you a thousand times over!

         I created this poem based on Amir’s emotions. I wanted to show how Amir felt toward Hassan and how much pain went through him. The reason the title of this photo was also one of the words I used was because I wanted the reader to create their own vision of the Polaroid Photo.
