Miss Yasmin’s Poem for Me

I know how much you love poetry and spoken word so I wrote this for you. It’s not amazing but it’s something

Contemplate to grow

Appreciate and you will know

That with every struggle there is ease

And every person has called out “please”

In the darkest of night

When the time is just right

Where silence is the only sound

And your heart continues to pound

You call out from the depths of your soul

Ya Rabbi please fill this hole

Of emptiness and pain inside my being

Of loneliness and depression and ignorance, I’m bleeding

Why is all this happening? What is going on

There must be something that I am doing wrong

There has to be a reason that I put my life on hold

Is this a sign that I am getting old

The truth is so much more than what it seems

It is the light source in a dark room that gleams

When my life was twisted and turned

I was distracted from the essence of what I had learned

So my Lord put my life on pause

Just to tell me that your life has a cause

And regardless all of the times that you have forgotten Me

I am right here, I never left you, you see

Even when we sin He calls out to us “oh my slave”

You belong to me even when you misbehave

Believe in heart that Allah SWT wants to hear your voice

And know that Allah SWT is guiding you to a choice

To either keep digging your deep dark hole

Or turn to Allah SWT, He will guide you to your goal.

I love you in the sake of Allah the All Merciful the kind

And I hope that you will allow me to be part of your journey if you do not mind
