They say

‘go home’. My home is here,

in the land I was

born and bred,

they say,

‘go home’.

I am already home,

where do you expect

me to go instead?

If you seek to snatch

away my voice and beliefs,

then it is you who should leave

the land of the free.

Freedom of speech is a right

and not something

that can adhere to your

expectations and lifestyle,

you say

‘go home’.

I never left.

In the darkest of seasons, during the darkest struggles, it still gave her a million reasons to smile and be kind. In it peace did she find. It was in her speech, her character and mannerisms. Never did she leave it behind. Her breath, her strength, her reason to live. It was simply her faith, Islam. #maryamyousaf in #theoceanofinspiration #bookoctober
