5 times a day,
Dawn, afternoon, midday, evening, dusk and night,
5 times a day,
5 times a day, I am reminded of the disappointment, the disillusionment, the dissatisfaction,
Because of what I believe, because of where I’m from, because of who I love,
As the azan goes off for the 5th time today, “ajoo” “ajoo beta for namaaz”,
Why should I pray for a God that doesnt accept me?,Why should I pray for a God that doesn’t love me?,
Why should I pray with a family that doesn’t support me?,
Why can’t I just be me?,
I want to love who I love,
Hiding who I am,
All of the untold, all of the secrets, all of the lies,
I am a shapeshifter,
Trying to fit into a box that I didn’t create,
I climb out of the box, I push past the limits,
Humans are not made to fit into a box.
I am human.
I’m sorry in advance if I let you down.
To the people who created me, I am a phony,
Does my family know the real me?
Does anyone know the real me?
Do I even know the real me?
Unseen.
Not just by my family, not just by my friends, but by myself.
Finding who I am, finding who I love.
When is it over?
