Oh Allah
please forgive me
for the times I fall short
the most merciful,
ever majestic
i'm so lowly and fraught
with injury, so inwardly
elsewhere, but oh Allah
I can hear
you calling me
so I rush to pray
peace is my forehead
pressed against the ground
tears streaming down my face
no longer lost, I am found
Ya Allah I miss You the most
I miss the days where I would
converse with you for minute eternities
Oh Allah, I'm eternally
without, without without
when You were beside me,
I miss those days
I never felt alone, you always raised
me Allah, please raise me up again
I miss lying in masjids at fajr
I miss walking on hills reciting prayers
I miss feeling close to You
I miss gazing out of the bus window on the 155
and feeling as though I'm truly alive
under Your watchful eye
You've given me so much
Helped me through my darkest days
Showed me miracles
and helped me to lay
my demons to rest,
Oh Allah
life is a test, and it's tough
and I feel like I'm forever failing
I've tried scaling
so many walls
but i keep falling back down to earth
Oh Allah
You closer to me, than my jugular vein
please don't let it be in vain
please help me to gain
Taqwa.
