Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall

Let's talk about us, our purpose and our role.
Self-growth & spreading love is the main goal.

Try not to be one that questions other's decisions,
Take a look at yourself, clear your own vision.
Keeping your intentions pure is what I consider hatred's cure.

Stick with the motte, love for all
Help one up, if they do happen to fall.
Don't be one to push someone further,
As we're all on our own journey, not one soul should be seen as better or worse than another

Judgements are from god, so, don't you dare.
Just live as an example, part of the ones that are rare.
Easier said than done, but criticize who you truly are,
Disregard what house you've got or which car.
Materialistic aspects of life aren't difficult to attain,
Your intentions & actions in this life are what will remain.
Feeling peace & having a pure heart is what will you sane,
Starts by learning how to stay in your own lane.
Stay grateful & seek forgiveness in which you'll realize there is a lot you can gain.

Keep yourself humble, watch your step if you do happen to stumble.
Value the significance of having a big heart & perfecting who you are,
It's reflected through your aspirations & how you treat others, it'll take you far.

Islam means peace,
Don't wait until one is deceased
Your behaviour during one's existence speaks louder than how you feel when one's gone.
Respect, self-reflection & prayer,
That speaks on your soul and shows whether you do care.

Forever treat others the way you wish to be treated,
Each human has flaws, judging omens faults will only express you feeling defeated.
Guiding one through your own actions will them in avoiding the other distractions.
But making one feel bad,
When you're not their mom or dad?
Now, that doesn't add up right.
If you care, pray or provide beneficial insight.
Not behind one's back, but directly one-on-one,
While considering the relationship you have with someone.

We're all a work in progress,
Not one soul is better than the rest.
Repetition assists in engraving something in your mind,
So, if needed, take a quick rewind.
And take this as a sign, teach yourself where need to draw a line.
Set limitations & work towards achieving all you'd like for yourself,
You're not an ordinary book on the shelf.

Perception is what guides you and satisfies you,
Deception may easily push you back, but maintaining your relation with God keeps you on track.

Life is simple, don't complicate it,
A fake persona of "happiness" is overrated.
Keep your heart pure & keep your Brian in check.
Think realistically to avoid gaslighting the fact that you're a wreck.

Each day is a new start, just focus on your brain and your heart.
God's always by our side, joining along on each of our unique rides.
Turn to Him each step of the way, and remain grateful for each day.
Love for all, hatred for none.
And if I'm ever needed, I promise to be there for everyone.
