life to the introvert is an intensely invigorating yet immensely difficult thing.

don’t we all wish we could exist exclusively within our social media personas...

our daily torment; our intimate reactionary anxieties;

our perceived losses & shortcomings; our excessive contemplation;

our fruitless relationships; our frivolous interactions;

our battles against that which is inimical within us; our disillusioned capitulations to those same battles;

our existential misunderstandings; our admittedly (& rightfully) submissive longing for love;

our condemnations of the least favorable corners of selfhood;

our strained breathing when attempting to reconcile a dispassionate reality;

in a single FLASH,

all forgotten,

relegated to gorgeous smile who’s depth cannot be experienced

all of this gets to be a bit much sometimes

...hates muslims ...loves vacationing in dubai

be careful not to confuse compromise with advancement

i just want to sleep in the masjid.

wake in the masjid.

bathe in the masjid.

eat in the masjid.

pray in the masjid.

embrace loved ones in the masjid.

read qur’an in the masjid.

make dua’a in the masjid.

cry in the masjid.

smile in the masjid.

come to know Allah in the masjid.

come to understand myself in the masjid.

gain the spiritual fortitude to (believe I can) make it in the world outside of the masjid.

I wish to speak

but I have not the words

or the breath
