Hello readers. Surprised to see me? Astonished to see that this blog come to life after months of being seemingly dead? Well,it looks like I have never failed to confuse you readers about this blog being dead or alive hehe. Yes,I AM sorry for not posting and updating this blog consistantly for all you readers out there. If there even ARE readers left... *sigh* It's just that my life has been a whirlwind recently with school and whatnot,and I still have not broken the habit of..PROCRASTINATING. Yes,my worst enemy. Let me delight you with this picture that I saw a long time ago on some website which explains the whole idea of procrastination. (You've probably seen this on the internet somewhere so yayy me for being original.)
SO. Let's get back to the main purpose of this post. You must be wondering,how come there's a new post on Nadhirah's blog when it's been dead for centuries? What made her get off her lazy arse to actually make the effort to update her blog? Well,actually,I was reading through my old notebook,which I kept as a diary some years back (when I was actually RAJIN enough to keep a diary),I saw a poem that I wrote last year. It doesn't rhyme,but I guess it can still be considered as a poem,and the poem is sad and kinda dark,and that's the simplest way to describe it,because that was how I felt when I wrote that poem. It's not jaw-dropping or Shakespeare-worthy so don't get your hopes up. I just thought I'd like to share it in this blog of mine. Mind you,I wrote it last year,which was ages ago,so some sentences are a bit weird and amateur. I wanted to improve the poem by editing it but I decided otherwise. If I did,it wouldn't be the original anymore. Anyway,enough of that. Here it is.
A Poem by Nadhirah Ahmad Nazri
(written on 8.8.2012)
The Difference Between You and I
Walking down your sweet memory lane,
To me, is like walking down a lonely alley,
Piled like garbage on the ground,
Are shattered dreams and broken hearts,
As there is no room for more,
In the overflowing dumpster,
Of lost hopes and grief.
Tears of joy are glistening on your cheeks,
Like fresh dew on a morning glory,
While tears of sorrow forever flow on mine,
Forming a river of despair,
With no end.
Your life is a happily ever after,
While sadness casts a dark shadow over mine,
That not even the brightest light could pierce,
Forever doomed to dwell in despair,
Blindly roaming about in the darkness,
Never to find a way out.
So. That was my poem. I know its kind of hard to understand,but aren't most poems? Don't get me wrong,the contents of this poem isn't really how I feel or how I felt when I wrote this. No,I'm not a depressed,emo girl :P Quite the contrary as Alhamdulillah,I am very thankful and grateful for the life Allah S.W.T. has blessed me with,but everyone gets depressed once in a while,right? I am a huge believer that no matter how hard the situation gets,it will get better,Insyaallah. We just have to hold on and ACT upon the situation to make it better. I was just feeling a bit sad over something and that kind of became my muse to write this poem. And I would like to stress that IT'S JUST A POEM. So don't get the wrong idea in your head about me. A work of art doesn't necessarily define the artist,though you can always find traces of the artist in it. Let the 'traces' of me in the poem be unspoken.. Ada faham? No? Hehe, I like to twist words so don't mind me :P Also,this is NOT a work of art :P It's just my amateur attempt to write a poem,so.
Well,that's it from me..for now. FOR NOW :) That's right,you'll be reading more of this girl writing crap and crepes in this pointless half-dead blog :P Soon. Well,maybe not so soon xD For now,I'll end this post with some word of advice and motivation,for when life gets hard and you think you just can't handle it anymore. I know,we as teenagers are at the point of life where we are confused,and angry and depressed, and just mad at the world. When the situation seems hopeless and unbearable..trust me,things will turn up,and it will get better. It's you who needs to stand up and make it better, and Insyaallah,Allah will reward you for your patience and courage when facing His trial. :)
Remember,
"If winter comes,can spring be far away?"
Repeated not once,but TWO times in the Qur'an ; "Kerana sesungguhnya selepas kesusahan itu ada kesenangan. Sesungguhnya selepas kesusahan itu ada kesenangan.” (ash-sharh:5~6)"
Quoted from SuhaibWebb.com (clickable)
"So when you go through a difficult situation, be it the inevitable death of a loved one or the loss of a job or just a flat tire on the side of the highway, take a deep breath and say:
قُلْ لَنْ يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا
“Say: ‘Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allâh has ordained for us…’” (Qur'an,9:51)."
Remember,my dear readers:
“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear…” (Qur’an, 2:286)."
Au Revoir for now and May Allah help you through tough times and guide you to the right path :) Amin.
Smiles and Wishes,
- Nadhirah ;o
May Allah Bless You :)
