Love is so hard to explain,
Hopefully, all involved, are thinking the same,
For many these days, just use the word, as a game,
Causing others, to drop tears, like rain.
To love, you have to, totally trust,
Love does not appear, from hours, of lust,
You have to keep feeding love, to avoid, any rust,
Actions and words, have to match, that’s, a must.

That was before you
wanted
to do anything with us.

That was before I
trusted
you.

That was before I
trusted
anyone.

That was before I
trusted
myself.

That was when I
only trusted
the glow of my laptop in an empty room.
I guess I’m doing better know? But then why doesn’t anyone that I trust talk to me? Reach out first?
A bouquet from a man of few poetic words,
Left me at a loss, struggling for words,
Amidst the sunflowers, bright and bold,
I found a key to his home, a chapter to unfold.

It was a symbol of trust, a door opened wide,
An invitation to enter, with nothing to hide,
No poem or love letter could ever convey
The depth of his feelings in such a meaningful way.
"Blood's thicker than water", they say.
But, it looks bad when it oozes.
They say, "Water is life."
But, you can drown in it.

If its bad in the face
Its even worse in the back

Behind closed doors
Behind the dont tell anyone’s
Behind the what is said here stays here

Hate spreads like wildfire
Trickling to the outer most parts of a soul

And you think its okay
Cause how would she ever know
But I know

What happens in the face isn’t all that different
What happens in the back is starting to blend
The wall has to fall eventually

I will forever look back in regret
Of calling you someone
I could trust
Lord, when I pray and don't receive
That which I pray for, I still believe
In the god who answers honest prayers
And shoulders all His people's cares,
The god who's Father, Spirit, and Son,
Who's one in three and three in one,
The god who heroically chose to die
For sinners, the god who cannot lie,
The god who's only good and true,
The only god who's GOD—who's You.
Empty
Numb
Heaviness
Can't seem to think less.

Each day im fading
Is anyone listening?

Long nights -
Headaches, thought loops,
Please stop.
Stuck in thick fog

Scrolling
Binging
Pretending
This isnt living..
Substance abuse,
Doesn't even get me through.
Where is my muse?
A change,
must be made.
I cannot maintain
living in this frame.
When will i finally start
To follow through.
Im sick of being miss blue

Excuses,
contemplate,
Going insane
What is the point
Of anything
If i just spend my days fading away

Never commit
"Shes A flake"
I know.
Im so tired of being this way
Hating how i live
Feeling shame
In who i am,
Wishing i was different
I want to commit
To me again

I want to jump all in.
Leave all this **** at the door  
find the free spirit within
I will do what best for me,
Even if it takes some pain.
Anything is better,
Than living this way.


change is being made
Surrender
what are you scared of?
Trust
It will be okay
Simple,
not a debate
just need to get out
of my own way
Change is here.
Can't keep running from the girl
locked in here
staring back at me in the mirror

She says,
let go.
Change is here.
No need for fear,
my dear.

Bury me next to
The flowers
We grew,

Remember me even when
I fly
Past you,

Look me in the eyes
And tell me
You’re still real,

And

not a part of me
that has
Yet to
Heal.

Why are you
Everywhere,
But somehow
I can’t

reach

Out and
Take you

Like I

Used

To?

Why do you sit in
A silent place?

And why won’t you ever
Reach
Back
Out

To

Me?
Written after my friend’s DnD character(s)
You looked in my eyes, and still you lied
I asked you why — you said, “You rushed,” and tried to hide
Living your dreams with girls on a screen
While I stared at myself asking, “What does this mean?”


Was I missing something? Am I the blame?
Then I whispered, “No… I walked into this flame.”
I saw your style from the very start
But I let you in, and you broke my heart


How can you stare at me and still pretend?
Say, “I love you, I’d never cheat — I’m not like them.”
But if you knew you were wrong, why hide it deep?
Wait till I’m gone, while you lie and creep?


This ain’t just about you — it’s about our name
Our roots, our values, our family shame
Arab blood was raised on pride
On loyalty, not this love that hides


We’re taught to give with all our soul
To stand for honor — that was the goal
But even the purest hearts get torn
Even the strongest queens get scorned


So what made you think, Huda, you’d be the one
To be loved right, while the rest get none?
his world don’t care if you’re loyal or kind
Even good women get left behind.
Words written straight from the heart, "You looked in my eyes, and still you lied. I asked you why — you said, ‘You rushed,’ and tried to hide." This line holds a story, and it taught me a valuable lesson: always trust your gut feeling. If something feels wrong, there's a good chance it is.
