Listen

My happy face when I finally got to taste Italian homemade ice cream. Pure bliss

I know what is like to not be heard.

I know how devastating you feel when 

no one is listening to what you are trying to say.

I know how low you feel when you finally able to 

share your feelings and thoughts but 

they did not appreciate your effort and worst, 

they did not even acknowledge it.

I have met people who has the lowest ability to listen to you.

The people who shuts their mind when you try to tell them your part of story.

People who stood beside you but went silent the 

entire conversation and absorbing none of what you just said.

To this people, I bid them this message.

Listen.

Listen gracefully to the souls around you who are trying 

so hard to tell you something by showing you signs and 

words that you have ignored.

Listen to their problems and ramblings about all the 

silly things that go wrong in their life.

Don't try to solve their problems for them. 

God will help them on that.

Just listen to ease their burden for holding 

on to the hardship for so long.

Listen for the sense of reliefs that you will give them 

once they spilled their stories.

Don't judge or assume. Instead ask why and how.

Listen and filled your eyes with curiosity even its temporary.

Stop giving them your piece of mind.

Just listen and response positively.

Everyone is facing their own demons to overcome their

own personal battle.

You are not alone in this world.

It won't hurt to just listen and acknowledge the 

feeling and moments of other souls.

You too can share with the other souls in return.

You don't know that for some of these souls, 

they may have all the love and charity the world could offer, 

but bear their own challenge at heart.

They walk and run like a kid with cotton candy in a fair but

these souls may fall and cry when the curtains draw at night.

If we could only just listen and hold their hand.

Moves our lips and say, everything is going to be alright even 

though you know its not certain.

You have no idea the tremendous amount of change those actions

can be in their world of internal conflicts.

The simplest forms of act will lift the souls to a blissful bay.

The act of care and warmth that seem scarce these days.

Just listen. It would make a difference.

In Allah SWT graces, 

may He replace us with fortunes that our 

religion put forth in place of the sad memories 

and struggles of our grief. Amin.
