Can you hear my EchO…?

This poem is for all those people who know exactly what I’m talking about. Nothing to do with my immediate family, rather it has to do with relatives. Meaning, adults argue, and the kids are the ones effected.

Separation of Families

As I grew up, I use to see

Breaking relations between family

I honestly didn’t know what to perceive

Should I stay or should I leave?

All I know was I was sad

A we have became a we had

I understood it was between every blood parent

But we were the ones who really despaired it

In the end I felt like it always affected us

The love we had started to rust

And eventually there became hatred

Lost of friendships that were once created

Sometimes I wonder why they fight

Just for status, pride, and might?

I know us kids never wanna hate

And we know what they do is not that great

But do they understand that what they’re doing

Is showing us that their hatred is growing

And in reality, they are showing us

That there’s no such thing as love and trust

I know we were taught the opposite of this

But then they use their tongues as fists

They make it seem like family’s not important

But when we’re born, on whom are we dependant?

*”Us” in the poem is referred as the kids’/cousins.

Salaam guys,

Not really writing a post, just wanna say Hafsa is coming back tomorrow from Paki. And Summer is nearly at its end…

Updates coming soon,

Zoya

Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuhu,

     I was quite amazed that I hadn’t updated in a long long time. I kept procrastinating until now. I guess I’ll give a recap of what has happened in the past month. I finished my summer class way back then. Alhumdulillah, I really liked that class. I’m starting to actually like biology now. I learned so much, and it makes sense to me…unlike ENGLISH! I am gonna take English this fall…uh…oh.

     After that, my summer has been busy. But its been much busier these past two weeks. So I’m gonna jump over to the last two weeks. Let’s see…okay, so I went to Farzana Baji’s house again, and that was lots of fun. I had a lot of fun playing with the kids. It definitely feels nice being out of the house every once and a while.

     I went to Six Flags last Wednesday with my mom’s side family. That was fun…kinda. Well, at least in the beginning it was. I think every desi kid knows what I’m talking about. There were so many little kids, and my uncles and aunts were there too. That’s all I gotta say for you guys to get what I’m sayin’. But on the bright side, I went on a few roller coasters, which was awesome. On one roller coaster, I was on the brink of losing my glasses! Anyway, I would say my overall experience at Six Flags last week was a 3.8/5.0. Atleast I got to go, right?

     And then the wedding! Wedding was great, mashaAllah. I’m happy for her, as long as she’s happy for herself…! Nah, I’m just kidding. I know she’s really happy, mashaAllah. Congratulations Afshan! Doubt you’ll read this though.

     Today’s July 27th. My brother would have turned 21 years old today. But on the brighter side, Sabrina has been MARRIED for a YEAR now, MashaAllah! I know when she reads this, she’ll be smilin’! 

InshaAllah, I will update again soon. As for now, I think this is good enough.

Take care guys. Enjoy life. Have fun.

Until next time,

Zoya 

Last week of school and you know what that means! F.I.N.A.L.

My final is this week, and that’d be awesome of you guys can make du’a. But you don’t hafta if you don’t wanna! No pressure whatsoever.

I won’t be taking anymore classes for the summer. 

Layter.
