Yesterday I begged of Allah (as only the truly desperate can) for His all-encompassing mercy; that for whatever wrong I committed I might find His forgiveness to bring me back to his embrace, away from This Cruel World. It may be this isn’t punishment at all but perhaps I’m not through serving my sentence for the misdeeds of an unreined nafs and maybe he’s not even listening to the pittances of a ****** soul. Oh well As long as no one tells my mother I’m still praying for death.

A Poem Of A Thousand Sins
Yesterday I begged of Allah (as only the truly desperate can) for His all-encompassing mercy; that for whatever wrong I committed I might find His forgiveness to bring me back to his embrace, away from This Cruel World. It may be this isn’t punishment at all but perhaps I’m not through serving my sentence for the misdeeds of an unreined nafs and maybe he’s not even listening to the pittances of a ****** soul. Oh well As long as no one tells my mother I’m still praying for death.
Allah: God, Nafs: The part of the soul that represents desire (and often leads us to sin). Ruh is soul, which I toyed with but decided I liked the English word better.
