๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Ever went to buffet restaurants and realized
Not all of the dishes displayed were ones that you like?
You had to carefully choose which foods brought you delight
And ignore edibles that seemed weird though they looked nice.
~•~
Also in life. By everyone we cannot be liked.
Our good traits and wow factors may frighten certain types.
Some assume we're "insincere" while we're just being kind,
And others guess we're up to something each time we smile.
~•~
The language your soul speaks is readily recognized
By souls whom Allah destined to appear in your life.
So if you're special and more complex, don't be surprised
If most people mistrust you or misconstrue your vibes.

Prophet Noah, may peace be upon him, he survived
With only a few supporters throughout his lifetime.
Our worth is never measured by how much we're well-liked,
But how much we want to be from those whom Allah guides.
~•~
Hence do not doubt your value when haters criticize,
When the jealous try to trump you with terrible lies,
When you feel ignored, or when you see trolls roll their eyes.
They're either insecure, scared of you, or sad inside.
~•~
Stay kind-hearted for Allah. Speak the truth, it's your right.
Don't undermine yourself because numbers fear your light.
Shine like the sun keeps shining even when criticized,
And when some peeps leave your circle, you're still strong and fine.
~•~
Maintain inner strength by trusting Allah day and night,
Aware we require Allah's Love, not His servants' likes.
When strangers or ex-friends insist on saying good-bye,
Let them go. As long as we have Allah, we're alright.
