Couldn't outlive living in fear
Fear of the past that would ruin the present,
The future and all of me
Fear and paranoia became a part of me
Soon I realised the realities
What's real despair without hope?
Shunned and disdained, hopeless and heartbroken
I understood the remedy of the clarity in life
Just as petals rent apart from the blooming rose
Crushed and squeezed off its hue and shades,
Left for it to rot, so it hardens into vile dark pieces
And there's no going back to become whole and pretty again
Just the end and that's how it is, that's how I have turned out;
Nothing.
Within the rusts of my heart, the dusts of my soul
Oblivious to my beautifying body,
While happiness was in search for me
I was in the arms of my stupidity
My life was surrounded by bleak souls
As every morning I woke up to the reality,
It is what it is, that it was all written
My prayers were my only dream
When my wishes were only the trend's joke
So I was made to accept all that I have lost;
Time.
Such a shame that I couldn't tame
My own soul, greed overflowed my heart
That I have done things in a dart
In the name of love, I sought for the one
Unaware that love or someone
Could not exist in the same place
Where apathy had it self braced
It was a loss, I was in a toss
Fear was all that I had in me when everyone called
Me inhumane. So I decided to become one;
Human
It was the simplest of mundane
The household which was born broken
Lost since its roots were in pain
The holes I couldn't dig down before time
And the upside down became the new norm
I forgot the difference in between them
The summit of life wasn't the sky
It was the soil beyond my reach
So I was made to accept all that I have mistaken;
Life.
What's broken cannot be the same again
As I grew into a stranger to myself.
I walked alone along the map of the deserts
Then the stars from the night skies remained me
Of The One Who created them also created me
Of The One Who promised me a summit in Jannah
That Jannah is the eternal reality that was awaiting me
So I was made to accept and practice all over again;
Islam.
It was the constant battles
Battles that didn't have victories or defeats
Only restarts and survival and belief
Patching up all that were lost in a collection
Was a waste because the heart was fated
To a chosen destination by The Best Of authors
Who promised me an Eternal Paradise
If I got this life right through His Light and Mercy
So I was made to take this fight till my last breath;
Even if my heart was against it!
