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
