As a Muslim girl, marriage is one of Safia's biggest dreams. All her life she kept herself pure for her faith and her future husband. Although having never had experienced love, and occasionally doubting whether she will, Safia feels herself growing impatient being single. She then sends her family to search for 'the one.' Trusting her family, she decides to say yes to the first person her family finds for her. She believes she will get married and face all her problems with her husband by her side. Is it really as simple as that? Yusuf feels a void in his heart. He tries to deny it, but he knows his mother's not proud of him. He knows she wishes he could be a little more modern like his brother. He wanted his family to find him a wife while he could focus on his deen (faith), but his idea of a wife clashes with his mother's. Seeing that his family were struggling to find him someone he likes, he decides to take matters into his own hands. But is he rushing into decisions without thinking?

Symbolism is the act of taking a simple object or idea and placing weight and emotion upon it. Fire becomes the image of anger and hatred. Dusk is now slowly dying hope. Battered shoes turn into the representation of adventure. This collection contains poetry that utilizes strong emotional symbols, exploring the idea that not everything is as simple as it appears.

Dawn Smith was very bright and always managed to put smiles on anyone's face. Unfortunately, all that changed when she was diagnosed with a deadly illness at an early age. She hung onto her faith, desperately hoping that there was still a slim chance that she'd get healed. Although, being told a few years later at fourteen, that her illness was now incurable, the little faith she held on to had shattered into millions of pieces. She was now left with the idea that there was no God, or if there was one, then He must not love or care for her. So, she changed her views on life, and hated it. But then, an unlikely boy comes into her life and change everything. Will it be for the better or for the worse? Started: April 29, 2016 Ended: May 26, 2018
