Navigating through the darkness and light,
I embrace myself for a tedious flight,
Assorted emotions, dismay, and delight,
I hope and pray for a future so bright.

I dare to venture, to places unknown,
Cherishing my voyage, every single milestone,
Aspiring to fly where no soul has flown,
A pathway that I must tread on alone.

Liberated, yet I feel so confined,
With a brave facade, leaving fears behind,
I strive for my goal, that’s been redefined,
With a passionate heart and a peaceful mind.

When you feel chaos within When everything outside looks blurry When the intellect is overshadowed When you feel anxious and depressed When you feel the doors are shut And you feel you’ve lost control Stop! Wait… Take a deep breath. Now gather up all your strength And look within yourself. You had shut them upon yourself But you always had the key Now move towards each door Open them up gradually And free yourself from the shackles Of your very own slavery.

‘I am what I choose to be’,
An expression taken so lightly.

Were we created for play and fun?
Boasting a sin is the thing most done.

Shame and shyness are stories of past,
Haya is something that we have lost.

With me my nafs remained.

I still continued to be,
The same old erring me.

My worship left me unsettled,
It was my nafs to be battled.
