Pieces of My Heart

Pinterest LinkedIn

There’s a place in my heart filled with ghosts.  

The souls I have encountered are abandoned memories—
parts of my soul that have bled and dried.

Some have stayed, others have left, 
others I no longer speak to—
and yet, each and every one of these ghosts holds a piece of my heart.

A piece of me they carry, and I of them.

It’s comforting to know the memory of you doesn’t die—
but instead becomes prayers.

Nusrat has a deep passion for reading, particularly in the genre of historical fiction. She is also actively involved in an organization focused on dawah work, where she helps lead halaqahs for youth sisters at the masjid. Through her poetry, she hopes to inspire and provide beneficial reminders to those who come across it. Nusrat is excited to begin her journey with MYM and looks forward to connecting with other Muslim writers in the community.
