Gazawritesback Stories

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. ------ Story cover courtesy of @XCrocusX. Thank you. ----- #322 in Poetry and #41 in Crime. Thank you so much. I sincerely appreciate it.

Their past is a chronicle of heart wrenching stories of pain, torture, abuse and oppression- each story darker and unbearably painful than the other. Despite the scars and marred souls, they were happy and content with their life until Wardah is almost killed by Shehzad in an attempt to end his own life. Amidst series of slanders, scandals and shocking revelations, where every incident is destined to keep them apart; they fall in love. Will they succumb to the situations and walk away or will they fight together this time, to complete their remaining story?

A collection of random thoughts, poems and reminders that I pen down. Cover credits: @angelofegypt

[Spin off to Suicide, Skittles and Skates] Hannah Adem is one of The Elite at Premrose Private School, standing at the very top of the social ladder. But when her world - as she knows it - comes crashing down, she's forced to face reality. Behind the façade of indifference she paints on every day, Hannah is hiding a lot of insecurities that stem back to her background of which she knows next to nothing about. So when Rayne Parker, the quiet kid in her English class manages to see behind the towering walls she's constructed around herself, she's torn between two choices. Should she take the easy route and disregard him as a nobody, continuing living obliviously or will she allow him to help her face the fears of her past? But as she's about to learn, she's certainly not the only one with secrets and not everything is black or white. Sometimes you have to look at the shades in between to find out the truth. Sometimes you discover that life is entirely greyscale.

[ Winner of Competitive Journeys held by Spiritual_Universe ] Junaid was not interested in proceeding on with life, not until he saw the girl dressed in a black abaya. Standing by a food truck, cooing to a kid, she seemed to be the epitome of perfection. She was all what he wanted, everything he thought he would never need. It would have been easy for him walking over to her and striking a conversation had they led a normal life. The fact remained that they were anything but normal. They lived in the refugee camp at Palestine! Living a life of restriction in their own land, will they ever find peace? What about love? Will it make its way into their lives?

1st place in the #gazawritesback competition. A young boy. From Gaza. Missing things that are needed, and yet you can't say anything, they're choking you though not in a direct way, your sitting on the ground, with your ripped pants and shirt, but it's not because it's the new fashion no its something entirely different, it's because of them, they stopped all the suppliers from helping you out, they took control over water and food, over electricity and other important things. All of that was a reason of why people died and passed away. But I didn't say it was the only reason... Copyright © 2017. All rights reserved.

a collection of my poems, written mostly in free verse.

ᴀ ᴄᴏʟʟᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏғ ᴘᴏᴇᴍs ᴀs ᴘᴇʀᴇɴɴɪᴀʟ ʀᴇғʟᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴs ᴏғ ʏᴏᴜᴛʜ Storms are temporary. They come and go, but when they hit us, we may not be prepared. These poems may seem bleak and dark at first but as you read along, you'll realise that all we have to do to get over such hurdles in our lives is just to embrace the storm. I hope you find you find meaning in these poems just as I have and I wish all of you every happiness. -'AMN **ᴛʜɪs ᴘᴏᴇᴛʀʏ ᴄᴏʟʟᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ғᴇᴀᴛᴜʀᴇs 'ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀʟᴇsᴛɪɴᴇ sᴜɴʙɪʀᴅ', ᴀ sᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟ ᴘᴏᴇᴍ ʙᴀsᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ɪsʀᴀᴇʟ-ᴘᴀʟᴇsᴛɪɴᴇ ᴄᴏɴғʟɪᴄᴛ ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴀᴢᴀ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇs ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴍᴏᴠᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ. © apostropheA (2014)

Everything has a purpose and that purpose sometimes, we failed to see because the situations and events and status we have lead us to think otherwise. I am one of the supporter of Gaza.

Palestine. I have written these poems in 2015.

This is not a story, nor any scripted article. It's a voice from my heart to the people of Gaza and all the Muslims all over the world who are under the unjust rule. May Allah protect them. May Allah bring peace. Ameen

Zach and Yasmine are two teenagers just trying to get through life by keeping their head held high and never letting their hopes drop. Although this can be hard when you're living in an illegally occupied country such as Palestine, they're there for each other. ALL the time. Yasmine is sarcastic, witty and a little controlling. Zach is quiet, annoying and indecisive. All the perfect ingredients to get on each others nerves! However they're basically twins...born apart but meant for each other from the beginning. They're Palestwinians. Join them on this journey as they challenge and learn from each other, battle the hardships of life and dream of their future....possibly a future together? Will they live up to the 'girls and guys can't be friends' motto? Can they survive, where only danger surrounds them? Who knows? Read to find out! All Rights Reserved. Copyright © 2014

Two weeks. Four students. Number one: Aarifah, with her endless struggles of maintaining a balance between her worldly and religious beliefs. Number two: Walid, with his un-ignorable past actions, and the consequences of these actions that haunt him to this day. Number three: Lexie, a girl who no matter how hard she tries could not get her heart to start beating for her rather than the boy who crushed it under his foot without giving it a second thought. Number four: Neno, the guy who has everything he wants, but not everything he needs. In these two weeks, their lives will be intertwined, their facades will be blown away, and their faith in themselves, that was buried in the confines of their hearts will resurface in the form of shores in their eyes. But one thing awaited all of them in the end, and that was; redemption.

Mashal Naeem thought she knew exactly who she was until she was rescued by her neighbour, flown on a private plane and driven on a talking car, kidnapped by terrorists and learned to fight. All because of being the daughter of Naeem Ansar, the founder of Alnihayya. Where freedom is precious than blood.

"My sisters are being raped in Palestine! Innocent virgins are being raped in Palestine! Let say, it was your mother, sister, cousin, girlfriend, best friend or your favourite teachers? Now let's imagine that was YOU! Would you only care then? Now what if your sisters, best friends, cousins, brothers or teachers were murdered or bombed right in front of your eyes!How would you feel? You haven't stored a weapon in your house or anything but these people call you terrorists? These people killed your family? These people say they defending themselves? The world is more worried about the Fifa world cup? How would you feel?"

Assalamoalaikum everyone! This is just a collection of random quotes, poems and articles regarding peace for Muslims. They may be my own or quoted. If they are quoted then I'll write the name of the person they belong to at the end. And yeah I suck at writing intros.
