Life― Our only Chance
I'm in utter pain and total dismay
And I dont know what to say
But the one thing I can do is pray
With every second that es each day
My heart never turns away
Or ever lead me astray
From that path ; The Straight Way
That leads me to Jannah;
My ultimate stay
So before my hair turn grey
Or before its time for me to lay
Helpless on that bed called the grave
I need to be stong and brave
And as the sun shines I need to make my hay
And I need to stop my play
And turn to the One who made me from clay
And lit my heart from a single merciful ray
Of hope and love so that I may
Him and give Praise
In the Only chance I've got
In the Only Life before it's lost
Its the pain in my heart that i just can't say
In words or letters or in long essays
Its just I thought I'd show people the right way
Little did I know that I was the one who was lead astray
Now I don't know how to catch hold of that ray
Falling from the skies above our heads
Yet nobody sees it, busy in their play
But there are some who hold on to it as they pray
I just start to wonder how do they
Let themselves away
Along with the storms in which they lay
But I'm the one who just stops and craves
To stand against all the storms and waves
I'll fight till my last day
I'll fight the storm I need to slay
Against all odds I'll play to win the game
All alone taking the One Almighty's name
In the Only chance I've got
In the Only Life before it's lost
LMAO please excuse this low grade rap :see_no_evil: :see_no_evil: :see_no_evil:

Till The Earth Embraces My Soul
I find you in the writings
that you wrote whilst awaiting
the angel of death
and in your desperate pleas
to the One Who owns your soul
and your every breath
but you'll find me every where
in your parents' albums
of when you were a precious first
cherished with the best
although I lived through it
you will never
you have left your zeal
in my memories
of shifting dreams
from touching the highest peak
to becoming a scientist
oh and there was a time
when I was a little less of an anomaly
when I didn't need to have the strength
to make friends
because I, no, not I
but because you,
you loved yourself
and couldn't care less
of who decides to you
in your crazy journeys to a world
that could only be in your head
you left your words
in between the silence
of many audiences
sometimes your parents,
your teachers, your friends,
but mostly with me
I bore the weight of your patience
whilst you continue to bear
the weight of the world
I keep trying to escape
even though I cannot love you
you continue to live
even though I can't believe you
you continue to dream
you looked for me
too far ahead in our life
when you were five
I was ten
and when you turned eleven
I was sixteen
and when I thought there's nothing more
than eighteen in growing up,
you remained stuck at fifteen all the way
to when I actually crossed twenty
and now it feels like we'll forever be lost in life
feeling useless at twenty five
but you'll still survive
even though you'll leave a farewell letter
and a will with nothing substantial to count for
but a broken apology
to those who you wished to treat better,
everytime I touched
the depths of despair
and shattered like tempered glass
returning back to a pile of sand and silica,
you'll still hold on
you'll learn the meaning of the nights
when the daylight falls upon the roads
I could never name
you'll see that with hardship is ease
and with hardship there will undoubtedly be ease
and you will be better than
all that I have written for me
you'll take tiny steps and tiny leaps
and the world will continue to suffocate you
but none can save you
from the words that disturb the frequency
between your heart and mind
unless I step into the life
that matters more than this world would ever
and live for the One
Who owns the heavens and the earth
and everything in between
and everything beyond
so let's continue
to survive
even if you and I fail
even if I feel hollow
and frail
even if I may have forgotten you
along the way
let's wait for tomorrow
let's give you and me
another chance
when He who can take life
and give it again,
gives us so many more chances
to redeem ourselves
till the earth embraces us
help me survive for one more day
a/n: this is to the past me
images don't belong to me

Like ten years ago poetry of yours still makes me cry :sparkling_heart:
May Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala always guide you and may He reward you for your efforts in this world and if not, then in the Hereafter. May we seek forgiveness and sustenance only in Him and pray that He forgive our shortcomings. May He give you the strength needed to always pick yourself up. :sparkling_heart:
I think 10 years ago you, would have a lot to be proud of. Because in the short years I have known you, I have ired you more every day. 🥰
Ameen :sob: :purple_heart: :purple_heart: :purple_heart:
I pray the same for you and may Allah bless you with more than what you ask for and may He guide us to meet in this world as friends for His sake and in Paradise too. 🤗 :purple_heart: :purple_heart: :purple_heart:
Thank you for your kindest words and . I honestly don't even want to imagine my life without you. (Even if it may be that I am a silly friend and go a little overboard with my quirky-ness XD)
