I was told one thing,
yet I saw another.
This thing they put me in
is like no other.
The truth is,
I was definitely scared.
But you can’t quite imagine
how beautifully I fared.
Whereas I was once weak,
I became strong.
Whereas I lacked in love,
I feel that I belong.
Whereas I lacked guidance,
I now have direction.
Whereas I knew not God,
I now have an interconnection.
I was told this place would subject me,
make me less than I am.
But I’ve only found elevation here.
It makes me feel more than I am.
The world is so mess up,
and long ago I lost hope.
But now I see the truth,
that there’s a way for us to cope.
Divine Handout
is what I call it.
Seeing how we’re far from what God
truly wanted.
But what He told me to do was simple:
call His name and He’ll come.
It’s so funny and ironic
how He came to me in the form of Islam.
