__: I’m happy when...
The entirety
of my family is under the same roof.
The
sun is out, and I find myself skating down a busy city street. When I reach the masjid and find all my brothers there.
I
wake up in the night and feel the urge to pray. When there
is no weight on my chest.
When I
discover tears within my canvas.
When
I submit to the page, pen-first.
When
my various personalities become one.
When
she can love me with just her eyes.
Reaching
any point of no return.
Knowing
this happened because of that.
When
my brother asks me for money.
When
my sister asks me for help.
When I remember the truth is always in my hands.
