“i will say graveyard
if asked of home ceasefire”
I was greatly influenced by Sami Yusuf’s My Only Wish.
When I was young, despite not knowing what poetry was, the lines stayed with me from the very first time I listened to the audio on my sister’s phone.
Many of my poems are influenced by Sami Yusuf’s poem because the first poem I wrote was about injustice.
