My Unfortunate Fate
If you happened to be in either Twing Sharjah or The Untitled Chapter’s event “The Reading” Then you must be familiar with Shamma K Al Bastaki and her poems, especially her mermaid poem that she recited in both events. We are thrilled to post it on the site as part of our September theme “Battles” as it is basically about the internal battle this mermaid faces, torn between her sense of duty and desire.
