Let me speak for all of the people in the Middle East who want their voices to be heard.
Let me tell you just how hard is.
Let me shape how life threatening it can become.
Let me explain to you what the media doesn't want you to know.
Let me show you the Middle East from another perspective...my perspective. This is a collection of poems about the Arab Spring, the conflicts being faced there, the present-day civil war, and how misunderstood Muslims and Arabs are.

Mafia's Forced Wife
Being a Muslim girl and in a conservative family with three protective brothers to care for you for your entire life....It makes you spoiled, protected and well naïve to some point. My name is Sharia Qureshi. I am a cardiologist. Saving lives gives me the reason to live. I believe that living life for yourself is easy but giving a part of it to others is something worth living for. Starting as an intern at a reputated hospital was all I wanted after completing my degree. But never in my life I expected Allah would turn my life from a free spirited girl to damsel in distress with none other than the shaitaan(devil). #################### "You never married me with my own free will. You forced me and my family into this. Allah will make you pay for this." He started laughing at my face mocking my words. Breaking me. Showing me how powerless I was in front of him. He closed the gap between us, stepping dangerously close. I took a sharp breath as he held my my hair painfully pushing my scalp back leaving burning sensation. He leaned down to whisper hotly in my ears."You are mine and only mine to give pain. You will beg me to be free." # 15 Compassion (06/21/2021) #1 Compassion (10/19/2022)Complete
4- A Warning For You
Part of the Past Live's category of my works. This is a true story of how a 12 year old girl was attacked by what modern cultures tolerate. People unknowingly glorify s3x, k!lling, su!icide, drama, negativity, and so on. Inspired by David Goggin's Can't Hurt Me Book. "Judge it man, judge it." People do not see that children within the last 3 generations are turning into zombies and are exposed to all sorts of garbage that destroys them. Terrible actors have allowed pedoph!les to be seen as normal- no one questions them when they enter a bathroom not for them or when they demand from entitlment to have the opportunity to attack a child- especially online. Children, young teens, young adults, and parents this is for you. If you've been hurt or want to see another window into a small section of the carnivorous evil that's broken into your home. Here's you a real maddening story of how this girl's mind became p3rverted with wild fantasies and developed f3tishes and believed she was a transgender boy, trapped in a female's body. Will you allow your children to build themselves In life upon lies? Will you scour through social media to see what truly is hunting your family and their sanity? This is Not another #MeToo story, as the main character of this Refuses to be a victim and instead turns her chains into a workout to become stronger. Following Christ's lead to bear life, its suffering, its responsibilities, and other's burdens, by picking up her cross and walking with the guidance of his footsteps. Thanks be to God for his glory and mercy. And yes I made this cover myself 😎Complete
Broken To Become Stronger
In a small town there lived a girl with high hopes and great expectations.Who refused to give in to the traditions thriving in her town.Who denied to be defined by how others described her.She was scoffed at for her lofty ambitions, which the girls of her background wouldn't dare to dream.Those laughs never stopped her from dreaming high.Those scornful eyes never deterred her from working towards her goal. Despite her strong unwillingness she is inserted into a man's life. Life takes a huge turn when the determined Hera was stripped off all her determination and zeal. Just when she thinks life is going to get beautiful,happens an incident that leaves her soul bruised.Not letting the circumstances tame her she rises above all odds just like the rays of light breaks through the trees.She refuses to let the thorns rip up her soul any longer,picking them one by one she reaches her destination with majestic splendour.Complete
Survivors Of The Lost
2020/05/29 #105 Sorrows #394 spiritual First I thought to tell you everything, What Iam hiding and why? But then I realized, Do you care about it? I love hard. Embarrassingly hard. All in type of hard. But I do silently. I drown the feelings in my gut until I'm heavy with 'I want you' and 'I love you' and 'I miss you'. I hold my hope in my throat. I clutch my wishes in my hands. They become moist with sweat until I no longer want them. If you could read me you would have known, I never wanted you to leave until now. It was just the situation where holding on to you was more difficult than letting you go. I loved you, I cried, I apologised, I made efforts, And Finally I lost myself.Complete
