They Save Me

They save me, and they don't even know it..
They bring me back when I'm about to lose it..
They're always there, even when they're not..
They make me happy, like my life has just begun..
They remind me that there's a place for me on this planet..
At times I've almost lost hope and can't even stand it..
I don't know how would I have kept going without them..
And I know if I had another lifetime to do, I would've picked no other but each and every one of them..
They're my support system, my hope, my faith.. and the air I breathe..
And I forever will be thankful to God for giving me each gem of these..

They know who they are..=)

The Thief

Your eyes are full
Full of the future of us
The air changes as you look across
At me in that wondering way

It is as if
I knew you before we spoke
Do our hearts know something we don't?
Conspiring, converging without giving us any say


You, sing me to sleep
Talk down my walls
Look through my windows as I wait
You could be the thief
I give the key to

You're ruining me
With secrets and gestures and looks
With sonnets from second-hand books
Playing the chords in me nobody knew how to play


It fits in your hand like water in rain
It unlocks our two different selves
And shows we are the same
Rather than wait `til I put me out for the taking
You're breaking
You're breaking
You're breaking into my heart
And I'm letting you

Letting Go

There's always so much we can do, Always!. We just don't know how much we can achieve, even when we try our hardest. There still is so much in our potentials that we'll never know unless we keep on trying, and doing.
What bothers me, is those small tiny things that hold us back. The ones that sometimes we think they're huge enough to stand in our way. To form obstacles that are not actually there. It could be a small thought or a somebody. Either way, whatever it is, it's completely not worth it!. Why do I say that? because whatever or whoever is really worth it, will be actually a part of what's making us move ahead, not holding you back. So, I hereby state that I have decided to let go of all those small thoughts in my mind that hold me back. Before they grow any bigger to actually stop me. And let go of all the small whispers that float around my mind, giving me words of a person I am not. I know who I am, and I'm going for it. And is it was once said, I pray to God I never lose sight of what's important.. Cause that's what I really want to be watching when my life flashes before my eyes..
Sometimes letting go makes you stronger, and I intend to be stronger..

The Full Half

Okay, so I've been in this college for 4 years and some months now, and I only have one semester left, am I going to miss it?
It might be fair to say, that during this period I've been through almost everything. The good, the bad and not to mention, the weird!
Each year, has been an experience. Falling, rising again, happy moments, sad ones.. and wonders, loads of those. I have met people along the way. Each and every person I've met has left a mark in my life, either one that has stayed with me, one I chose to let go or one that inspired me somehow. I can't deny that I have changed along the way as well. I've made loads of mistakes, tons of wrong decisions. But those were the fuel that kept me desiring more and more to search for the right and do it.
I've seen people change too -or maybe they were just like that all along and it's me who chose to see the good side in everyone- and I have to say, I admired some, others just went by like dust in the wind. But as I said, they had their impacts on me..
They made me realize what kind of person I don't want to be. They made me realize that nothing can be taken for granted. They made me appreciate more those who deserve to be appreciated. They made me realize you don't have to change yourself for anyone to accept you, you are who you are and if you're not proud of that then your life will be a living hell to you!
This college has given me a hard time, on different levels. But on the other hand, it has given me the time of my life. The friends I will hold on to for the rest of my life. The experience I gained on all aspects of life. The things I've learned and the mess-ups that I did, and that happened to me.
I can truly say that although I'm eager to get going with the new life after graduation, to go on and make the difference in the world I've always wanted to, I'm going to miss college days. I've lived a college experience worth telling, and I'm holding on to still making the best out of it. And that's the full half.. =)

Grateful..

It's a new year, or is it just a new day? I love new beginnings, always. But isn't new year just over rated? I mean, it's just a counting system, like I can say new year begins at the end of March, can you sue me?! What the hell am I saying, I do love the new year spirit!
But then again, hope should never be lost, as long as we're alive and breathing, hope should always be around, that's what Allah told us to believe in, is the new year just a state to renew our hope? well, maybe it is! and that we should be grateful for.. I'm grateful!
Grateful for the fact that Allah gave me another chance with a new day to come back to him, grateful for the fact that Allah has blessed me with the life I have, even though I may face (as I naively call them) super troubles, I'm grateful that I get a chance to learn form going through those. I'm grateful for all the mistakes I make, for I know what not to do again. I'm grateful for being alive, and when I die, I will be grateful to Allah for giving me the chance to believe in him when I was alive..
