"Maybe It's Me"

I don’t know why

they always misunderstand me.

All I ever want

is for people to come close,

to feel that I’m not the reason

for the bad in their lives.

But every time I try to do something good,

they still see me the wrong way.

It feels like my heart

is starting to lose pieces of itself.

How do I explain to him

that I can’t bear his worries anymore?

Who do I turn to

to take away my own pain?

The One who can do everything—Allah—

even He feels distant,

like He’s upset with me.

I feel so alone now.

It’s as if everyone has left me.

Maybe… maybe I am the problem.

Maybe I really am the reason

behind everyone’s stress and sorrow
