I woke up this morning and my name flashed on T.V.
They said i blew up places , they said i killed masses .
Men , women & children I murdered them all.
Who am I ?
I am a muslim and i am taking this fall.
They used my name and spread the terror.
I am not them , it surely is an error.
We, muslims, are the holders of peace , we spread love.
Why am I being  represented by their false actions.
I am a person, with different notions.
World will now brand me a terrorist.
Don't judge me by their actions , I insist.
I am not them, they pilfered my name.
They inflicted libel , and my religion to defame .
I have been robbed , robbed of my name.
I am a muslim , human like you , all the same.
My name has been robbed , my identity stolen
I deprecate the terror and mourn for fallen.
There are millions like me and humanity lies in our depths.
But we are all victims of Identity Theft* ...............
We Muslims condemn  the Paris attack.

Tonight the moon  isn't beautiful anyhow.
Tonight the dark has stolen the show.
The bright light is just demorphing the infinite  dark.
Tonight the light is just one ugly mark.
The dark holds the peace in it .
and the light is full of discord.
Darkness holds the beauty tonight.
It is defeating the light without any fight* .

They know my name
But not who I am, not my story
Yet they feel they have the right to judge me
They know my smile
But not my pain
Yet they think they know what I stand for, what I mean
They see my bruises
But not my scars
Cause I've Hidden behind layers and layers of lies
I hide my true self so they can't see
Be the annoying, cheerful, ****** girl you always pretend be
They don't who I am
My story, my life
Yet...thinking again.....
Do I?

Broke her piggy bank

Sold her shells to the sea

Lied to the believers

Sat on the stars and looked below

to see the street lights twinkling the brightest

If I die
By the palms of the ocean
Just know
That I am where I am meant to be

A story...

I
A café
One table and two chairs
Two coffees and a vanilla cake
She then: "You remember my favorite cake.
My very wish in the morning every time I wake."
     And he then observing: "How can I not, my lovely thing."
She then: "How warming your smile takes my breath
That I fell blue if you walk away. That’s why I love you."
     And he then with a kind smile: "I know and also
     I love you."

What a lovely day that even angels sing.


II
One afternoon
A couple of unhappy months or so
On a park under a gloomy birch-tree
She then crying: "Please hear me out,
I’m sorry."
     And he then: "Why? Please don’t make me worry."
     He then crying: "Don’t tell me you don’t love me anymore.
                                   This doesn’t make any sense."
…Silence

This cloudy afternoon walks with pain and sadness.


III
On a rainy day
She then crying: "My heart is breaking what you have done
Smile for me once to heal my collapsing heart."
     And he then: …Silence
She then sobbing: "Remember the bitter day we talk
I take back the one that hurt you the worst part."
     And he then: …Silence
She then wailing: "Please come back to me
I love you, more than songs can say."
     And he then: …Silence

I am not what you think!
I am a door to unparalleled joy,
I am a wild tree that grows,
I am green even in winter,
For all the world even knows,
Many are my "faults" but none see
What the future brings,
Obedient to the path you follow
That you're told to isn't the right thing.

I am a golden feather, a magic coin,
I float upon the streams to be found,
I can answer you with only this logic;
You are tomorrow, you are the future,
You are going to find your way,
Even if you did so with engel "magic,"
Yours is what you seek. But please remember:

Most importantly,
I am an open door through which you can enter,
Cast off all of your fears, your death and disdain,
Start over, be yourself, leave, come back, go free,
Forget your bitterness and despair,

*...or hold on to all of your anger, your pain...

Hi It's Haliyah
He said
the universe cannot feel,
so she
cried Fire with the stars,
and every breathing creature
tasted melody
in our rain.

She said
the universe cannot listen,
so he
fell silent with the sky,
and every breathless creature
heard
the flutter of her heart.
