In life's embrace, we dance so fleet,
With risks we take, our hearts shall beat.
A gift bestowed, so precious, rare,
Each breath we take, a whispered prayer.

"It's just life," I'd say, with courage bold,
Through trials faced, our stories told.
For fleeting moments, swiftly flown,
In every joy, our spirits shown.

Yet in the midst,

 a truth held dear,Our loved ones near, their presence clear.

For in a blink, they may depart,

A gentle whisper, a beating heart.

So let us cherish, hold them tight,In laughter's echo, in darkest night.

For life's a journey, swift and grand,

A tapestry we weave, hand in hand.

With gratitude, our souls alight,For every dawn, for every night.

In love we thrive, in loss we grow,I

n gratitude, our hearts aglow.

Armor of Love

In the quiet moments, I find my guard up high,  

Words like arrows, aimed for reasons I can’t justify.  

Defensive walls rise, though I know it’s not fair,  

Caught in my armor, it’s you I want to spare.

You’ve given me roots, planted love so deep,  

In every gentle whisper, your hopes I try to keep.  

I stumble through shadows, striving to stand tall,  

Wishing you could see the truth behind it all.

I know you mean well, your heart shines so bright,  

Yet I hide in my fortress, afraid of the light.  

Each time I lash out, it’s fear that I feel,  A longing for your pride, a truth I want to reveal.

I’m learning to soften, to breathe through the fight,  

To honor the love that guides me at night.  

With each small step forward, I hope you can see,  

The better version of me, who I’m destined to be.

So here’s to the journey, with you by my side,  

A bond that’s unbreakable, where love can’t hide.  

I’ll shed the defenses, let your kindness in,  

In the heart of this struggle, it’s love that will win.

Finding Balance

I’ve spent my days in others’ light,
Always the helper, hiding my fight.
Pouring my soul into every care,
Yet in their shadows, I’m lost somewhere.

I’ve worn the crown of silent despair,
Thinking my pain was too much to share.
But deep inside, a spark ignites,
A whisper of hope, of clearer sights.

I want to rise, to break these chains,
To shed the weight of old, tired pains.
To make my family proud, to stand tall,
Embracing my worth, giving it my all.
With every step, I’ll learn to see,
That caring for others means caring for me.
I’ll find the balance, I’ll be my own friend,
And in this journey, my heart will mend.

In His Footsteps

In dreams I wander through time and space,  

Wishing to meet him, to glimpse his grace.  

The Prophet Muhammad, a beacon so bright,  

A life lived in love, a heart full of light.

As a child, I imagined his wise, gentle ways,  

His kindness and courage, the words he’d say.  

I longed for the moment, to sit by his side,  

To share in his wisdom, to feel that pride.

But as I grew older, I started to see,  

The truest connection is in being free.  

It’s not just the meeting, but living his call,  

To act with compassion, to lift others tall.

In patience and mercy, I find my own path,  

In love for my neighbor, I harness his math.  

To embody his teachings, to walk in his shoes,  

To spread hope and kindness, to share what I choose.

So though I can’t meet him in flesh or in time,  

I carry his spirit, his heart in my rhyme.  

In striving to be like him, I feel him near,  

A guide in my actions, a voice I hold dear.

Im my mothers daughter

I’m my mother’s daughter, in every way,  

Her strength and kindness guide my day.  

With laughter and lessons, she lights my path,  

In her embrace, I find my calm and my wrath.

Her hands have shaped me, her stories inspire,  

A spirit so fierce, a heart full of fire.  

In moments of doubt, I hear her voice,  

Reminding me gently to stand and rejoice.

With every challenge, I carry her grace,  

A legacy woven in time and space.  

I’m learning from her, the love that she shows,  

In the seeds that she planted, my own garden grows.

I’m my mother’s daughter, proud and aware,  

In the way that I love, in the way that I care.  

Together we flourish, through laughter and tears,  

A bond that grows stronger with all of the years.

Day by day
I wished you'd stay.
but this is the reality of little to no liberty.
I worry
now its all just blurry
for I still need you
I will always be here to greet you
with nothing less than a smile
Hey, it's been a while 

and it's been hostile, well at least for me
I just hope your happy

Where were you when I learned how to ride a bike?
Where were you when I went on my first hike?
Where were you when I had no one?
Where were you when I had no answer to the questions of where you are?
Where were you when I bought my first car?
Where were you when I was the only girl without a father?

Where were you when I needed to be taught how to be proper?
Where were you when I needed you most?

Where were you when i'd thought i'd seen a ghost?
Where were you when I'd cry a river?
Were you ever gonna consider that I needed a dad?
Which I never had
Was I so broken?
Aren't kids supposed to be their parents token?
Fathers aren't supposed to leave their children heartbroken.

Farewell to Delusions: A Poetic Departure

I realized you don't care enough and that was really rough

 I wish you well and I wont yell

 so I'm leaving for me and you can ignore me if you want to this guilt is on you

 I know you can live without me As you've allowed me to see the real you and I can definitely live without you you know its true

 so stop feeding on my namecause life isn't a game

 for you lit a flame that you cannot tame 

oh what a shame that I cant change you I guess my delusions are to blame

Goodbye means see you later

I dont know where to start its tearing me apart

I dont wanna leave

do you belive what was up my sleeve

you all are so sweet how could my next friends compete

all the laughter and joy 

I so enjoy

and the dumbness too 

oh who knew?

how thoughtful a person can be and sometimes handy

oh how scared I am of the unknown I might end up in a grave stone

so here's my message to all of you

first sorry this is unrehearsed 

maitha how can I display my love and gratitude im so screwed.

I must remind you don't let your thoughts define you 

next in line

the girl without a spine that would probably make a head line

always remember to never surrender

In addition to the girl who I always knew would come through even though our friendship is brand new I've gotten used to the true you

all I wish for you is that you learn to control your emotions or should I say explosions and be better for your pleasure

However the girl who always finds a way to save the day 

with garfield that's a part of her heart

where do I start?

she's funny she's sunny but she must think twice before sacrifice 

However our wise one who describes one as prison worthy 

I think is worthy of any journey but must learn to stand up for her self to free herself 

now last but not least the girl who can 

compete without being discrete but needs to learn how to communicate her struggles and not hide them under chuckles.

now to all of you I love you.

Broken promises

I needed you but you were never there and you didn't seem to care about how I felt in these situations that I couldn't live up to your expectations.

But why try when all you do is lie? I knew it was never true the thoughts of me in your imagination was never gonna live up to your expectations.

Because im me and your you

and thats never gonna change 

it is not that strange to let me go

I also need to grow

As my veins are getting stuck in the drains that you built filled with nothing but guilt

I need you to cut me loose

even if it means you lose

even if you cannot prepare the damage you have done 

you must beware of what's yet to come.

You promised

You promised you'd be there but where may you be?

I thought maybe it was a decoy

oh boy oh boy

but there's no way

your on your own way

without me

your family

oh this is just a tragedy 

The type of stuff you watch movies about I just hope we get the happy ending without a doubt

In the gallery of memories, I see, Faces of those who once loved me, Yet like autumn leaves in the breeze, They drift away, leaving barren trees

.

 Each goodbye a wound, Etched upon my soul, For in the tapestry of life, Loss and longing intertwine Everyone I love seems destined to leave, 

Their laughter echoes, Leaving me with the price to pay I watch them go, As worlds collide and paths depart, A void that time cannot erase How cruel the cycle, Of love, then letting go, Attachments form.

amidst the tears, That one day, Love will stay.

Whispers of Strength

In the quiet whispers of your heart's dismay,

I hear the echoes of what others say.

Their words, like arrows, pierce your soul,

Yet, in your strength, you keep control.

You carry burdens not your own,

For fear of judgment, you're overthrown.

But listen, dear friend, to what I say,

Your truth shines bright in every way.

It matters not the rumors spread,

Nor the tears you shed.

For in your heart, you hold what's true,

And that, my friend, is all you need to do.

When tears flow freely, don't feel ashamed,

Your emotions aren't a game.

They're the language of your soul,

And in them, your strength, I behold.

In the chaos of a crowded space,

You may feel lost without a trace.

But know, dear friend, I'm by your side,

In me, your trust, you can confide.

You need not defend or justify,

For within yourself, the answers lie.

Trust in your wisdom, trust in your grace,

In your journey, I'll keep pace.

So let the world say what they may,

In your light, you'll find your way.

And when the tears refuse to fall,

Know I'm here to hear your call.

Her journey

In shadows dark, Her fears confide,

Her silhouette, a troubled guide.

In whispers hushed, her voice does shake,

A melody of doubts does make.

She shrinks within her own embrace,

Her mind a maze, a somber place.

Each step she takes, a heavy load,

Where fearsome thoughts have firmly stowed.

Yet know, my dear, in every glance,

Your strength shines through, a steady stance.

For beauty's more than what eyes see,

It's in your heart, your spirit free.

I see the sparkle in your eyes,

A glimmer bright beneath the skies.

No weight or measure can define,

The light that in your soul does shine.

Embrace the journey, don't let go,

There's brighter days, I want you to know.

In laughter, tears, and in between,

With you, I'll always lean.

Through every struggle, every fight,

I'll be right here, by your side, bright.

In laughter, in sorrow, come what may,

Together, we'll find a brighter day.

So let's face this path, hand in hand,

Through valleys low, through barren land.

For you're so strong, you'll soon see,

My dear, you'll always be.

Eternal Absence

Always the poem, never the poet,

Always the truth, never to show it.

Always the song, never the voice, 

Always the moment, never the choice.

Always the art, never the hand,  

Always the fire, never the land.  

Always the dream, never the sleep,  

Always the surface, never the deep.

Always the story, never the scars, 

Always the wish, never the stars.  

Always the journey, never the end—  

Always the message, never the pen.
