I SPEAK FOR SYRIA

I lay my head on the floor

Thinking that it's too late to keep that open door

As I'm tied to a post, one whip after the other

I wonder how my life will be in another

 

Mother,

Have I love and respected you?

Have I cared no more for myself then I have cared for others?

 

Dear God,

Tell my mother I love her

Tell her I would never trade her for any other

 

Dear God,

Tell Adam he was always the best

Although I loved him no more than the rest

 

Dear God,

Tell Safiyyah I'll try not to be gone for long

Tell Umar and Idris they were always like an older brother

Tell Sr. Aanisah she was always my second mother

And, Br. Naasir, I will always love you as a father

 

Daddy,

I never got to take the time and notice how alike we were,

But what we had will always stay full to the truth

 

Cherice,and Maryam,

You leave me speachless

And to the others, you were never any less

And honestly, you were far past the best

 

Muhammad,

No one could ever replace you

 

With all my loved ones,

I feel as if I will never lose

So, whip me as you choose

But I still refuse

 

I tried my best to stay strong with the rest

And I'd love to talk but its starting to get dark

So, I musn't forget my dearest friends

 

Lenora,

I left before I could see you again

You were always there for me, 

And you were always the best friend you could ever be

 

Malika,

You were one of the best and, I wouldn't be able to decribe what we had in any letter I try to send

 

To my closest friends,

You know who you are

And you will always be my shining stars

You will always be in my heart

 

And although I'm dying, I will never fall

Not by the stab of a dart

 

You can make me bleed, but I will never shed a tear

I may scream

But you no longer care about what you hear

 

I always had Allah (sw) in the position of fear

And I will never be knocked down as long as I have him near

 

If you're wondering,

No, I don't have any fear,

Don't have any fear for you

Or anyone else here

And when I say this, I swear, I am being completely sincere

 

And for that I am not to be judged

So not by the shot of a gun

Will I ever budge
