Stop

By The Unofficial Hafsah

A soul’s response when the world is too noisy and a heart is silenced for too long.

Can you please lower your volume,
Hush down,

Can you be quiet,
Quiet now,
Silent. 

Let the tears fall silently coating the pages

With the rubble of the storm within
Let the pain roar 
And be HEARD and SEEN
UNAFRAID, and  UNTAMED

And let the world stop needing you to perform
To conform 
To do amazing things!
Let it all stop,

 And be SILENT. 

May Allah grant us the ability to appreciate and claim back our silence
