Poem: To Critics Who Blurt "Insults" So My "Feelings" Get "Hurt"

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
🗒️ Quick note to critics who want my "feelings" to get hurt, 
Who think they look "cool" when they describe me with "insults" 
Like "you're nasty", "ugly", "you're so poor you can't afford
Branded clothes", "stinky weirdo" and other absurd words, 
While I believe they want me "hurt" so they feel less worse: 
~•~
Admit it. You only want my "feelings" to get hurt 
Because you're the one who's emotionally disturbed, 
You're the one who's suffering, you've probably been hurt 
By someone or sad bashers in the past so you blurt
Out rude remarks so you're not the only one who's hurt.
~•~
Or you're jealous. And blurting insults is like a sword
Which you pull out each time envy intensely disturbs 
Your heart that gets tainted by pride when you try to hurt
Others so you feel less emotionally disturbed. 
You target those whom you envy so you feel less worse.
~•~
Strange how you attempt to get even with unkind words, 
Spreading awful vibes so you're not the only one hurt 
Like a worm that wants its foes to transform into worms 
Or slugs as it envies any life form that can work 
And live more productively than it on planet earth.
~•~
SubhanAllah Al-'Atheem. I understand you're hurt. 
Stupidity or sadness inspires you to insult 
Others so you feel less emotionally disturbed. 
Your "offensive" words are like pacifiers you hoard 
To soothe hurt ego since good morals you can't afford.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day (the Day of Judgement), let him speak goodness or remain silent. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his neighbor. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his guest."
In another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam, "Let him not harm his neighbor."
And in another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Let him uphold family ties."

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase 'if only' opens the way for the work of shaytan."
