"I believe that poetry may not be able to change the world. But a poem can change a person." - Almadhoun,  The Star Newspaper*

and a person can change the world.

without a person, there won't be a community
without a person, there won't be a religion
without a person, there won't be humanity

everyone matters.
everyone is capable of doing extraordinary changes,
it might not affect a big group,  
but it can affect one soul that makes up the big group.
a chain reaction

i haven't have the courage to finish my poems since you left me wounded

i trusted you firstly because you noticed my dark sides and appreciated it like it was a part of yours. i saw you, your dark side and accepted you despite what people say and condemn about you. people say you're weak and worthless because you get emotional and heartbroken so easily until you hurt yourself till it bleeds. i cared for you because i have once felt the same way and i couldn't bear another living soul, lives life while feeling dead. i stood up for you. i went through the thorns for you, i became your companion, i calmed you down when you were anxious. well, i thought i did. then this beautiful girl pops out of the blue, you fell for her but you didn't tell me. you just said you were hurting me, you didn't tell me why. then a massive event came into my life and you left. you took that as your golden ticket way out. you blamed me. but deep inside, your heart has changed. your feelings changed. you changed. but you were scared to tell me, coward. you were too weak to bring it up to me. but you found your strength in her. and you gracefully flew away leaving me behind with an ache i have never felt before.

my body feels peace
but my heart is shattered
I am half dead
and half alive

I am allowed to break.
do not tell me that I can't break in one second because of a person.
because if the person is someone you give your heart to and someone you're risking your heart to then
I am allowed to break. to shatter. to mourn.
but dear tell me
That breaking helps.
if breaking is the only way for me to be close to God then by all means I am fine with the pain in dunya hits me like this
it damages the bad side in you
breaking my heart into pieces
and to be formed into a new piece
into a new self
to be broken is a blessing in disguise.
you just have to find those blessings despite your damaged heart
sometimes when the dark side of life hits you
that's when you can see those stars light up the sky
and when you're drowning
that's when you can actually breathe inhaling the truth and exhaling the pain.
so hey. don't tell me not to break
teach me instead how to live with a damaged heart

rip to the feelings that was once present but disappeared after a wrong choice of word.
rip to the trust i had in you.
rip to the hope i held up with my weak bones.
rip to us.

may your boat and hers leads to a better path.

at 18, reality on how hard it is to survive in this cruel world, hits me.
seeing people who work so hard everyday just to get some money for their food the next day, seeing people who still smile even after a longg day of tiring work which gives out only a small pay, can still smile and help others. the sight of all this makes me so sad and i really want to help them. they deserve more.
at 18, i know that God is close to me and He loves me.

at 18, i know now that i am born as an average person, i am not the best but i am one of the good ones. alhamdulillah (all praises be unto Allah)

at 18, every little scene that occurs to my eyes made me think deeply about it. it'll teach me a certain lesson or leave me a deep scar. i have always been reminded to stay close to the present and not drift too far back or too far ahead.
