I keep trying to run,
but there is nowhere to hide
from all of my problems
that I keep inside.
Honestly, I think
we're all just waiting to die.
We try to seize the moment,
but then its "good bye",
and forced to face reality,
you see an ugly side.
There is no one that knows me,
that can say I hadn't tried;
everyone's watched me grow,
and seen me as I died.
There's still nothing I want to say
after all the tears I've cried,
my words received no water
and to the world they simply dried.
With no direction,
I only stumble with no guide,
a wimpering soul,
just trying to get by.
My mind my biggest bully,
a truth I should confide...
as it rips on me each day,
I wish to run and hide.
I can't stand to seize the moment;
I must go out with the tide
even though I ran away
they can't say I hadn't tried.

Have i done something wrong?
Why is there an ache in my heart?
Why does it feel that my is falling apart?
Why is it that i cant breathe enough?
Why does life seem to hang from up above?

I guess i did something wrong, or else it wouldn't have turned out this way.
The person i cared for so much about, couldn't have just shut me away.

But i wonder sometimes, is it she to be blamed?
Wasn't it the right thing to do?
Wasn't i wrong to ask for something which wasn't mine?
Wasn't she right when she said, stop! i can't stay up-till 9.
Wasn't i mistaken to think that our lives were intertwined.
Wasn't i really pushing the envelope all the while.

I need to let her go now as she belongs to someone else.
I can't do this to her, can't tear her apart,
She is a little special, just like a lemon ****.
It has to be goodbye now, need to clean up my deeds.
Because i am getting addicted to her, and she is becoming my ****.

Some said, "Let it burn!"
Freedom means what exactly?
Can we have some too?

A mosque vandalized,
A Muslim family killed.
Where is this "freedom?"
Week of Feb 8, 2014 was a bad one for Muslims and for America.

From those around...
I hear a cry...
Oh God! Oh God!
My eyes are blind...

From those around..
I hear a cry,
A muffled sob,
A hopeless sigh,
I hear their footsteps leaving slow..
and then I know my soul must fly!

A chilly wind begins to blow,
Within my soul from head to toe,
and then last breath escapes my lips,
It's time to leave and I must go!

So, it is true but it's too late,
They said: "Each soul has its *Given Date",
When it must leave its body's core,
and meet with its Eternal Fate.

Oh! mark the words I do say,
Who knows tomorrow could be your Day,
At last it comes to Heaven or Hell,
Decide which now do NOT delay!

Come on my brothers let us pray,
Decide which now do not delay!

Oh God! Oh God! I cannot see,
My eyes are blind! am I still me?
or has my soul been led astray,
and forced to pay a priceless fee?

Alas to dust we all return,
Some shall *rejoice while others *burn,
If only I knew that before,
The line grew short and came my Turn!

And now, as beneath the sod,
They lay me with my *record flawed,
They cry not knowing I cry worse,
For they go home.. I face my God!
This is an Islamic poem/nasheed(religious song) by Ahmed Bukhatir(sp?)

*Given Date = In Islam, they believe everyone have its given death before they died regardless of young or old, healty or sick.
*Rejoice & Burn = Heaven and Hell
*Record = Muslim believe each deeds are recorded by two angels in each person.
