Enjoy! (I hope they don't make you fall asleep, lol)! Sleep or Work All I want to do is sleep but the sun is shining bright and at my face calling me to get on with my day It may hard to get up but you have to you have one more thing to do and then it's done You'll get to do what you want whenever you want but for now you show one last time the skills you got. Sleep For a while now you worked your mind so hard without a break You finally get one and don't do any thinking just falling into your bed and falling asleep. The End You've reached the end and know what to do beyond the end it's outlined But after throwing yourself out there you're surprised and they are surprised you're tired and others are, too you've reached the end Give each othe...

Hello readers, it's the second to last day of this challenge! Here's a few poems that may or may not be inspired by poetic asides and may or may not start with the letter Y: RELAX Yoga Exercise your mind and your body push yourself, yet relax Yoga lets you exercise both but in ways to let you calm down and relax. Yo-yo People say life is like a roller coaster and it is, but it also can be compared to other things like a yo-yo.

Hello readers! Here are a couple poems that may or may not be inspired by poetic asides and may or may not start with the letter X: Mechanical Today everything is mechanical where it is technology or us working and walking blindly.

Here is two poems, one for the letter V and another for W: Vast A vast mind can be good or bad you might have something or you might not Even if you do you don't know what to let out and what to hide whether to let stay or go. With your vastness you may be disliked or loved Just put yourself out there. *of course I doubt putting my poems out there, but you all seem to like bits and pieces of different kinds. Also, I did have three different lines for the end. I hope you enjoyed it! Wake up Wake up and smell the coffee smell the roses smell and see everything as it is If it's good, show it if it's bad, hide it and/or change it it's what your life is for. -Fida Islaih {all writing is copyrighted}

Here are a couple poems that may or may not start with the letter U: Umbrella All through yesterday it's been sunny and cloudy that evening it rained and as night came, it poured it poured through the night and still is on this midweek morning.

Hello readers, Today is a simple day. Here is one poem that may or may not start with the letter T: Tea or Coffee We are from a culture that loves both Every household needs it they may ask for one or the other but at the end, you'll get both Ever girl needs to know how to make both it's a test to who will love you or love you more a test to who is lucky to have you unless that girl is lucky finding a guy that can do it. -Fida Islaih {all writing is copyrighted}

Before I introduce my poems I want to let my new readers (and old ones if you forgot) Salaam means peace. A greeting Muslims exchange. Islam means peace and submission. Here are some poems that may or may not be inspired by poetic asides and faith, and may or may not start with the letter S: Kiss and Salaam As a child I go to sleep with a kiss from my parents As a teen I go to sleep with salaams from my parents At both times without that kiss or salaam I can't sleep, I wait to get it It's like having to say I love you before leaving a person cuz you don't know what's going to happen next. Complex Complex is something you make of something when it doesn't need to be don't think too much, just do it Don't do it to making yourself blind with it but do it with a deep love. Islam Islam on my mind School out of sight but shouldn't be Islam should be consuming, in a way that it helps you that is what Islam is about. -Fi...

Red A color that can go both ways it can be soft or hard of love or anger Red is the blood that flows in our body keeping us alive Red is the blood that drips when we are hurt. Red is a just a color. Rest It's been a week since camp started and ended I'm catching up to my resting I had left exhausted and the next day I slept half the day but from that day on my midday rests have been shorter I know I'm getting my rest and a reward for going This wasn't just another event to hangout with people and then forget them it's an even to make a friend that will last for the rest of time If only I could see them again at another camp but the next is rigorous and unless there was a miracle I'll fast at home during Ramadan and rest at home all summer. -Fida Islaih {all writing is copyrighted}

Burn At first you may think you got burned but in reality it's a lesson to be learned. Queen They call me the iPad queen just because I was the first to use it at school and was smart in figuring out how to use it and more But I don't like being called an iPad queen it may be a little part of me but I don't feel it's me I shouldn't be attached to material things and shouldn't be loved for material things I should be loved for my personality and I do see that happening Things are changing and so is this but no matter what I'm among many queens of the faith I follow. -Fida Islaih {all writing is copyr...
