Sinning

I know it is Satan that is inviting me
hissing away in my sad soul
I know it is you that makes me suffer
I know it is me that gives you power
I know how I CAN stop you
yet can not catch myself to stop you
In all the disappointments in my life
finally I realize
their will be more
just do not know from where
then you Satan will come back
trying to give me alternative of relief
then I know it is you inviting me
to what you disguise as peace
yet I know it is not peace
but coax my self in to accepting
knowing the consequence is sadness
followed by repentance
a battle of wars is going on within me
until I submit
then peace will descend on me
That will only happen
when I
refuse your invitation
Satan your only strong
when I give you strength
your only strong
when I accept your invite
Your like a drug
that sewed it self with in me
I let go off you for a few days
then your back again
only because I allowed you
only because I gave you permission
this is no ones fault
but mine
only I can stop sinning
only I can stop your whispers
when will I finally stop giving in ?
such a vicious circle I am in
tired inside of allowing you to do this
tired of giving you permission to make me suffer
the suffering I am in
is cause of my actions
so Allah help me stop
give me the strength to overcome my weaknesses

A powerful and very human poem, dear Sister, and Ameen to your prayer at the end. May Allah bless you and guide us and protect us all from the whisperings of Satan through our nafs and human weakness.

Ya Haqq!

i think that evil is all around us... testing us daily. and like you say, it's only the person that can make it stop. altho, you make it stop for a second and the next second it could be back again... that's why you have to hold steady in your quest for peace.

well.. i searched and searched for the comment you left w/ the other URL, but i can't find it for nothing. when you get a chance, give it to me again. :)

it's good that you write to get your anguish out... sometimes it's the only way.
