Quotes by Nada Elshabrawy (?)

“أنت السبب يا ليل
عودتني أسهر
علقتني بالشكوى والمواويل
ومشيت بعيد ورجعت متأخر
أنا كنت جايلك قلبي شاكي عليل
سيبتك وكل ما فيا متكسر
حتى اللي كان جوايا لسا جميل
بطل يكون فيا
من مدة لم يظهر
بسكر في شعر سرور وفي التأويل
واكتب علشان محتاج حقيقي أسكر.”
― Nada Elshabrawy, جولة تفصيلية في قلب على وشك السقوط

“انعكاس خوفك وحزنك يبتدئ يظهر
قلبك بياخد ع الوجع بعدها يسكر.”

“❞ ‫ والخوف عمومًا عذر كافي للخذلان

‫ الخوف لو مس شيء، أيامه معدودة

‫ وعشان كده مستغربة حقيقي كوني موجودة

‫ ولأني شخص ضعيف، قدراته محدودة

‫ ممتنة للفرصة، لو هي دي يعني

‫ ممتنة للقعدة وللوقت الزيادة ❝”

Nada’s Quotes

“فافرح باقصي ما استطعت من الهدوء
لأن موت طائشا ضل الطريق اليك
من فرط الزحام و أجلك
قمر فضولي علي الاطلال
يضحك كالغبي
فلا تظن انه يدنو لكي يستقبلك”
