The One Who Listens



Its funny how people expect you to talk
when they dont even have the intention to listen

Its even funnier when they claimed that they understand
when they dont but actually only managed to come up with their own assumptions
judgements and conclusions 

to make your words connect to each other
making it easier for them to digest

you tell em stories

your story your problems
you let it out you let it go

some's a good listener but some not even close to being one
but yet they sit beside you and listen

you tell them your story your problems
some might understand but some might not 
but they pretend that they understand

indeed having someone to share your problems with
is like drinking plain water when you are so damn thirsty

its like carrying a 100kg of weight on your back
and half of it were lifted away

its like you're drowning in the middle of the ocean
and you then saw a fisherman's boat approaching

whether that particular individual understands your story
or not

it doesnt matter really

but its gonna feel like
drinking plain water when you are so damn thirsty
but the water turns out to be polluted and is full of transparent sand particles

like carrying a 100kg of weight on your back
and another 100 kilos were dumped on you

like drowning in the middle of the ocean
and you saw the cumulonimbus clouds rolling in

when that person

that particular individual
listens

''understands''

and they started to judge you
blames you and listed out all of your mistakes
saying out loud the ugly truth
that you wish they wouldnt say but rather keep it to themselves

and you end up
hating your self even more

i gave up
on what

on human

 because i found a better way
to tell your stories and your problems
without being judged

although it is true that its your fault at the first place
its the wrong decision youve made 
that get you in such troubles

but yeah
finally you can let it out
admit your mistakes
accept your flaws
and be determined to fix everything
improve yourself
make things better again

and thats my friend
you can get by telling all of your problems to Allah

indeed He listens
even when you aint saying things out loud

and He understands
more than you understand yourself

He knows you make mistakes
and yet He forgives you
when you beg for His Mercy

He can help you find a way out
if you pray for His help

He can help you calm down
and regain your strength

Thank You Allah
for being there for me

Make me among those whose heart always in a constant remembrance of You
Make me among those you are pleased with
And make us among those
who loves You


more than anything else
