The Rejected Bride
“Am I not Your servant, Ya Rabb? Did I not live for You? Did I not strive to walk the straight path, even when my legs trembled and my soul felt hollow? Did I not trust in Your plan, even when I could not see beyond my own sorrow?
Ya Allah, I am tired.
I am tired of waiting for a relief that never comes. I am tired of believing that my patience will bear fruit, when all I taste is the bitterness of despair. I am tired of saying "Alhamdulillah" through clenched teeth, forcing gratitude when my heart is breaking. I am tired of hoping for Jannah when this dunya has been nothing but a grave for my dreams.
