Dear HeartbrokenDear Heartbroken,

Sometimes I wonder, if you still spend late nights
Staying up thinking of me, making up rhymes
Or other pathetic things to help pass the time

I wonder if you still think we weren't meant to part
Telling everyone you meet how I broke your heart
When you were nothing but deluded from the start

Sometimes I wonder, if you still like to play victim
Connecting to sad songs, cursing my existence
Thinking love could be won through insistence

But maybe I just wonder, why this point of view
Is never given the credit it's due
When so many people suffer to get through

But forgive me for whining, you do more th

I am Muslimby *Tyshea

_{As a Muslim, I do not follow tradition blindly
As a Muslim, I do not conform to new age views without evaluation
As a Muslim, I am constantly self-reflecting
As a Muslim, I give charity and smile to strangers
As a Muslim, I believe in a non-human, non-gendered, unimaginable God

As a Chinese Muslim, I feel unrecognized and isolated by my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters
As a Chinese Muslim, I feel unrecognized and isolated by the American media
As a Chinese Muslim, I feel equally hated by the American media
As a Chinese Muslim, I am thankful to have seen so many different perspectives at my age
As a Chinese Muslim, I feel closer to Allah

As a Muslim artist, I do not have religious ultimatum
As a Muslim artist, I am criticized for not devoting my art to my religion completely and blatantly
As a Muslim artist, I devote myself instead to universal messages in hopes of reaching a wider audience
As a Muslim artist, I fully love and indulge in the visual world created for us by God
As a Muslim artist, I prove people wrong not by shoving my religion in their face, but showing them I am just a person like everyone else

As a Gay Muslim, I believe in love above hate.
As a Gay Muslim, I have been through constant, endless torment for simply loving someone.
As a Gay Muslim, I have become infinitely more compassionate and understanding to others.
As a Gay Muslim, I have found deeper, purer faith in Allah.
As a Gay Muslim, I vow to never let my faith put others in danger, I vow to protect others who are bombarded by blind faith.

This is me.
I am constantly torn
I am always falling
I am sheltered
I am afraid to speak
But I am insanely proud}

This was mainly for myself, to remind myself what it means to be me.
And to never give in to hate or anger.

Thanks to my friends for being the best, most accepting, most loving, and most wonderful family in the world.
Thank you for a great 21st birthday, and reminding me of the most important things in life.

Ask me any questions you like. I may choose to reply or not

Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?

*Tyshea Mar 30, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

I believe that all people are children of God, and Jesus was a great man and prophet of God.
But the Christian trinity isn't something I personally believe in

!camera-in-my-heart Apr 11, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Do you believe that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"? Romans 3:23

I'm glad you are proud about yourself and Islam. But no offense, Islam did not teach us to be gay. I hope what you mean by gay is happy. ^.^

*Tyshea Mar 30, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

No I definitely mean gay like queer like I love people of the same gender sometimes.

Islam teaches us humanity and brotherhood
Islam teaches us to love and not judge others, for the only judge of humankind is Allah.
