💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 To the insecure and jealous, you are "arrogant",
A "narcissist" to the threatened who lack confidence,
"Snobbish" or "pretentious" to those with wrong perceptions,
And "ignorant" to those who forgot you're still learning.
~•~
You may be labeled "autistic" or "oddball" to those
Who think they've figured you out when clearly they don't know
You entirely, they're not familiar yet with your goals,
Misread your intent, condition, and most of your words.
~•~
In the eyes of those who approach you for selfish gains,
You're "unkind" or "useless" if you don't please them always.
You're "mean" or "self-centered" if you need space on some days
To those who demand that you never make a mistake.
~•~
You may have blonde hair since birth and most insist it's "fake",
Send assignments on time and still be told "you're too late",
Or be described as "ugly" while some admire your face.
Of what they choose to see in you people have their ways.
~•~
Just as Allah is our God yet many disbelieve,
And Allah is One though thousands trust in "Trinity",
People's opinions don't portray your reality.
Don't tie your self-worth to lies or insecurities.
~•~
Tips to cope when some people accuse you unfairly
Or try to dim your soul's light out of pure jealousy:
Thank Allah you're not in their place, accusing, firstly,
Not the one behaving poorly and immaturely.
~•~
Realize their slurs reflect weak personality,
Their self-loathing justifies self-imposed misery,
And feeling inferior directs them to mockery.
Give them freedom to daydream. Allah knows us truly.
