Step to building strength that doesn’t rest.Then, listening to others, not needing
To participate, unjudgemental, hearing

Your doubts and advice so as not harming.Speak my mind, state my faith,

Malak Kalmoni ChehabForge your will in steal,
Outmaneuver your enemies, who feel,
Replete in knowing they’re the heel.
Give them your support when they fall,
Inspire them to be better than before.
View their progress and motivate before you bore,
Inverting foe to friend, like before.
Never lose hope for betterment
Even when all is stacked against you,

I totally agree with you, which is why your advice will be taken to heart. There are times though when you feel too empty to write. This creates a heaviness that can block me from expressing my feelings.

MalakUpon reflection on a year gone by,
I notice that life is short and needs to fly.As time dissipates in the fog of winter
Storms that flog your optimism into a pauper,I lie back and wonder …
How do I make the following year better?My goals are set for my self-improvement,
Where I wish to feel no bereavement.Goals are so arbitrary, that, at…read more

I feel as though gh sometimes our goals can bring us down they can also bring us up at times. You said that you wanted to write more. I feel like that will help more with your goals just like how you are writing about your goals now. Your writing can always be an ongoing reminder of what you have on track of what you need to do.

Exactly. We women need to support one another in order to leave our mark within others, whether in our children, society, or even only in writing. It’s still a wonder to me how some of us continue to believe that what we do as women lacks importance and relevance.

Malak Kalmoni ChehabMother, daughter, sister, wife, friend,
All are one and the same in muslim women.
We hear what we need,
We mishear what we deem reprehensible!We learn early the need for compromise, understanding,
And flexibility which are requirements of survival
In a world where the ‘I’ is more important than fighting
For togetherness, unity, and equality.…read more-
This is such a great letter, Malak. I can relate to your message because I am a follower of Yahweh and don’t put myself into any denomination. But I believe that we all should be able to care for one another and not just focus on ourselves. We should live a life where we would want to be treated and not treat others poorly. But even when people…read more

Malak Kalmoni ChehabDear Self,
As I look back into my past actions, I realize that there were things that I should have changed. It’s interesting how so many authors, politicians, philosophers have written about ‘the past’ in relation to our present selves, but we continue to belabor the point. McCarthy states in All the Pretty Horses, that “Scars have the…read more

Stereotypes built on empowering one group over

Kayjah, it’s wonderful to see that there’s an audience who understands my work and the ideas behind them. When anything in work becomes that stressful, one definitely needs to step back and decide how badly they want to be noticed.

Malak Kalmoni ChehabFragile paper hearts
Easy to tear,
but cuts
Like a bear.Its unique shape
Lends to despair,
When it broke
By your hand and air.Its unique shape
Rises into fullness,
Then dips in face
Of falsehood that pierce.Look into its shape
That seems divided
Into yay and nay, a cape
Of vascillation that cried.Its tear wails
Till eye sight is…read more -

All obstacles that try to be coy.The struggle itself builds a stronger

Wow!!! This is so real and so beautiful. Social media is supposed to keep us connected to others, but I feel like it often makes us lose or dislike ourselves. This poem is so real and so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. <3

Dear Malak,
You are so right. People today hide behind their social media. That is not a Healthy thing to do. I wish people could be more honest about their feelings and their life. I am glad you have pointed this out. Thank you!Shelley

This is so true. I love your Poem Malak. I myself used to be an influencer and when I Started to see that some of my posts would get likes and others wouldn’t get as much likes I would stress out about it. It made me so stressed to the point where I had anxiety because I’ve always wanted to be at the top when it came to doing some thing I lik…read more
