Assalamu 'alaykum everyone
Just started writing again after a very very long time, alhamdulilah. And it really wasn't even of my own doing. A sister at my university asked me to do a piece for a sisters open mic we had the other day, and so I was like sureee why not? SUBHANALLAH, I feel like a very vital part of me is back....inshaAllah it's here to stay...
Take action before it's too late
Revive your Iman from that stagnant state
And remember to put your trust in the One
Who when is asked, will always respond
I have a friend and this friend of mine
Complains and complains, all the time
Always unhappy, down and distressed
Even though to me, she is more than blessed
She carries on and on about how she's been wronged
Her friendships, although at first blossom, never last for long
She's got something in her, I know it's there
But it's been so long, it's kind of hard to find
This dunya's buried her soul deeper and deeper
And I try my best to help free her
But a soul won't change unless it wants to
And a girl won't change unless SHE wants to
That's why I wait, I bide my time
Hoping and praying that one day she'll see her sign
I just hope that that day doesn't come too late
Before she's realized that it's too late
Too late cuz she's too old and the opportunities have passed her up
Her bones are aching and she can't stand up
Her mind is weaker and she can't think straight
Her soul far too gone to return to a God-fearing state
And by then I'll have realized
That a soul won't change unless it wants to
And a girl won't change unless SHE wants to
And that’s why I say…
Take action before it's too late
Revive your Iman from that stagnant state
And remember to put your trust in the One
Who when is asked, will always respond
