eleven years
it's a long time isn't it?
eleven years
you grow up with Justin Bieber playing as you went to sleep
then suddenly

eleven years
rewatching Hannah Montana till your ears bled
then suddenly
you're listening to a khutbah about God by Nouman Ali Khan
and

and
Mufti Menk
eleven years
waking up to bacon
then suddenly
you can't even pop into the local McDs cos 'it's not halal'
eleven years
combing hair because you liked Matty in Preschool
then suddenly
there's kids pointing at you

"Aleyah
Stop flirting with that boy"
Her friends didn't like her
"Aleyah

"Aleyah
you don't even go out to eat with us anymore"
"Aleyah
why are you being like that?
they're just boys."
"Sorry
mind my friend Aleyah,
she's a bit prude"
