Set Me Free!!
My soul hungers for completion, a position I have never held;
My eyes show only my solitude, a cold world where my heart dwells.
Can you imagine my torment, never tasting the sweet nectar of love;
Yet tortured by its effervescent fragrance, the worst chastisement I can think of.
I yearn to let go, but how can I when my fears faces realities truth;
My heart asunder all over my body, and has been this way since my bitter youth.
I gave my heart to many, yet from many I receive no returns;
So now I give only my enmity for love, inside my soul is feeling the burn.
Torn between two emotions, shall I love or shall I be alone;
Allah's path is becoming unclear to me, but I am destined to figure it out on my own.
Darkness fills my mind as my heart continues to show me the light;
How is one to compensate for a body ravaged by an emotional fight.
A tattered soul lost in confusion, how can a kind heart exist with a mind so cold;
But in this trials I find a balance, a very hard find to behold.
So set me free of a torrent of emotional pain and mental distress;
Set me free like a dove, free me of this war inside my hollowed chest.
An endless battle, who will be the voice of hope that comes to set my soul free;
Who will be my liberator, I feel all hope is lost in me.
