close your eyes, take a deep breath and smile. you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. it may not be where you want to be but remember life is a journey. you’re on your way to accomplishing all you put your mind to.

I’m fine Was the first sign That I was struggling to make it through the day That I wasn’t okay It was my cry for help I was losing myself But no one came When I was in pain So I picked myself up off the cold hard ground And searched desperately trying to find peace of mind I searched for happiness within people But ended up broken and alone There was only one way to heal myself And it was back on the ground Praying to my lord

Kashmir Bleeds

how can you talk about humanity as you let Kashmir bleed your ignorance muffles their deafening screams trapped in their homes, hearts filled with fear their future remaining indefinitely unclear they’re breathing but no longer living souls bleeding, hearts barely beating confined within the borders of their own land unable to contact the outside world with all communications banned please tell me where are you where are the feminists that cry with outrage over the wage gap but remain tight lipped when women and children are being raped and beaten where are the humanitarians that want to talk about injustice but just not when it comes to minorities where is the UN when their very own goodwill ambassador endorses war justifying her comments by saying she’s supporting her country but you’re supporting a government that is torturing kashmir but how can we expect anyone else to help when even the muslim countries turn their back on kashmirs pleas and instead honour modi as you read this kashmir will continue to bleed, don’t turn your backs on them in this time of need

As we’re at home getting ready for eid Don’t think we’ve forgotten about you as you struggle to find your home in the debris Everyone dressing up in their finest clothes and looking their best Whilst you’re just grateful you’ve made it another day without facing the eyes of death We’ll fill our stomachs and eat until our heart is content Whereas you’ll hold your tummy tight trying to fight the thoughts of hunger We’ll celebrate with our families, rejoicing and talking for hours on end Something that you’re not able to do as your family was snatched away from you. Unable to call them because of the right to communicate has been taken away This is all happening in the same day but there are two completely different stories

In this holy month as I finally stand to pray All I can ask is Ya Allah please forgive me for I have been led astray My heart is so heavy that the tears can’t help but flow As I finally prostrate to my Lord finally letting go Letting go of all the pain and heaviness that burdened my heart The same pain and heaviness that burdened my soul and tore me apart My head pressed against the ground as I submit to my Lord My soul that was once tired and empty now feels restored I longed for the feeling of tranquility and peace and sujood was where I found it

How could I have ever thought I was alone when he was always here with me?

His grip tightened around her throat as she gasped for air, tears slowly rolling down her cheeks.

This pain and torture she had been enduring for weeks.

After what seemed like hours but what was only minutes, he loosened his grip as he slammed her against the floor.

With a smug smile on his face ‎‎as he headed towards the door.

She wished she’d never have said yes to being his wife

Now she’d have to endure this pain and torture for the rest of her life

Even if she did leave him, society wouldn’t let that slide

Judging her and attacking her dignity and pride

Taunting her and tainting her name

Not stopping her until they force her to the point of feeling constant shame

Driving her insane

Pointing all the fingers at her telling her she was the one to blame

Not one person would tell her it’s going to be okay Instead they’d tell her to go away

Go back to her husband ‎as this was the only way

And this was why she would stay

I’m sorry that I couldn’t stop the pain consuming you And breaking your heart into two I’m sorry that I couldn’t stop the voices in your head That kept telling you that you were better off dead I’m sorry that I wasn’t there to stop you when that blade slid across your wrist ‎As you kept telling you that if you were to disappear you wouldn’t be missed Though I wasn’t able to help you before I can only hope and pray that I can do more That I can remind you that you’re not alone For he is with you wherever you roam But the best thing I can do is pray That each and every day gets better than yesterday I won’t let you think that this is the end For I hope that I can be a good friend Who won’t let you silently endure this pain And let the thoughts drive you insane And whenever you think that you cannot go on, just remember that you are strong and you are not alone. This pain is temporary and will not last. I know you’ll get through this.

An Untold Story Of Abuse

And every time she walked towards the door He got on the floor, pleading her to stay promising he wouldn’t do it again So she remained because she thought the next time she thought he would refrain And if he didn’t she would leave to never return But he never did learn because the next time it happened things took a horrifying turn As his fist came into contact with her, she stumbled back and hit her head off a shelf and fell to the ground Her chest stopped rising and she’d stopped breathing and wasn’t making a sound Blood covered the floor A life taken in the cruelest way, this isnt what she envisioned when she said she would no longer have to endure this pain anymore Her family left torn apart They finally got justice when they locked him away and threw away the key but their beloved daughter wasn’t here to see Their heart was shattered into a million pieces, leaving them with nothing but painful memories of their daughters broken heart
