don't be afraid of the world








For 30 years she hides
She never tries to escape
She is willing to let time go by
Living indoors hiding most of the times
When the world around her has moved on
She still holds on to her belief
She forgets to turn around
The years flashed her by

The bright young Malay woman
She flew to UK with her fiance
Thinking the world she would conquer
With family one day on her return
She never did; she gave it up instead

The intellectual capacity she has
She gives it up for a different cause
Until such time she couldn't know
The facts and fiction in her life
So the time passes for 30 years
Until a charitable group found out

Siti Aishah once she was
An educated woman in those times
She could have been somebody important
But fate turned her life upside down
Influenced by the wrong ideology
She was hooked and she forgot
She forgets to turn around and see
What the world has been
The time has flashed her by

Maybe she can recall
Those missing years and times
With the UK police to pierce together
The years she had let it go
But home she has forgotten
She may take a while to remember
