Lonely Days






There you are, all by yourself,
Trapped in a box beneath.
Feeling sad that you're all alone
Because it's just you and your deeds.

Wishing with you there was another soul
With whom you won't compete.
That way, you won't be lone 
And surely, you'd be complete.

But you know your wish won't come true
Because for you it's the end of the road.
Now you wonder who'll see you through,
You see no one, and then you mope.



By your garden you should have been buried, so that its fragrance you smell, and its green you see.
By an ocean, so that its splash you hear, and its breeze you feel.
Beneath a tree, so that its fruit you eat, and the heat you wouldn't feel.

Then you think again...
The beauty of it all is above.
Now your heart is filled with pain...
Because you're trapped right there - below.

Your eyes are filled with terror 
As you await a day unknown.
A day when there will be no error,
The day the trumpet will be blown.

      May Allah grant your dad peace, forgive his sins and fill his grave with light. May your dad's grave be for him like a garden from the gardens of paradise. This life is indeed vanity.

    Poem is at its strongest when it conveys its meaning with clarity and effortless choice of words together with a well-written imagery that resonates with readers and I strongly feel that this poem has all the foregoing. Thank you for writing.

What Friendship Is

"It's just me, myself and I". This was my status on one of my social media accounts some years back. This saying also played a great role in my life. I was a lone wolf. I didn't have friends and I didn't want friends. I thought I was complete all by myself. I thought I didn't need the company of others. I didn't understand the importance and sweetness of friendship until I got a taste of it. Friendship I realised was the basis of any good relationship. We're course mates and we have a group work together? I realised that it was easier to work on group projects with friends. And that working on group projects became easier and more fun, when my course mates became my friends. Friendship I've realised goes beyond words. Friendship is love. Friendship is patience. Friendship is arguments, it is small fights and it is forgiveness. Friendship is company. Friendship is food when there's famine. Friendship is hope in moments of despair. Friendshi...

Life's challenges has made our brain wired to 'survive.' Many believe that happiness is unattainable. No lies, life is full of its ups and downs, and sometimes we can't help but be sad, and that's understandable. But it would be self-destructive to think that it is impossible to live a happy life.

Of course you need to look at the negative and figure a way out, but be careful not to become engrossed in the negative. 2 . Exercise regularly: Take this from me, exercise is a gr...
