This is a poem I write about a car accident I got into about 5 months ago. I was safe, but never in my life have I ever felt death so near! Subhanallah! It really made me rethink so much in my life. In the Quran Allah(Swt) says  'Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.'Chapter (21) sūrat l-anbiyāa (The Prophets)   "Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you even if you are in fortresses built up strong and high!" And if some good reaches them, they say, "This is from Allah," but if some evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)." Say: "All things are from Allah," so what is wrong with these people that they fail to understand any word? ( سورة النساء , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #78)   - Stay Beautiful<3

Blood Orange Periphery

44 parts Ongoing

My suicide had been two years in the making when I decided not to follow through at the last minute. Over the past decade, I've written poems, books, short stories, fanfiction and hundreds of thousands of words, but nothing felt complete. This collection of selected works was meant to be my final offering- the only thing ready for posthumous publication. Blood Orange Periphery includes poems written in the months preceding the end-that-didn't-happen, some of my best teenage scribbles, and journal entries that chronicle the transition from death-planning, to recalibrating life.
