“Be yourself, ” they say
“Okay..” you say
“But..” they say
and you crawl away.

Surely all believers are brothers. So make peace between brothers and fear Allah that mercy may be shown to you. O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one’s] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers. (Surah Al-Hujuraat) (49:10-11)
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Make things easy and do not make them difficult, cheer the people up by conveying glad tidings to them and do not repulse (them).”
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Jarir bin `Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “He who is deprived of forbearance and gentleness is, in fact, deprived of all good.”
[Muslim].
I keep busy
to keep from thinking of the times
to come I keep
memories
to buy spare time from some
keeper of nightmares and dreams
who flushes me as I keep drifting awake
unwoken, yet full of fares for keepsake
a token, to remind me of our fate
maybe I wouldn’t resist sleep until it’s too late
when the keeper of my days
pulls me to the left
into his dark embrace.
