From about May 2005 til the end of that year, I was stuck on the fence - not exactly being a kafir-scum any more, but certainly not being Muslim yet either.
Ah yes, forgot about that period. I remember durring that period someone asked me "what religeon are you?" and I was going to say "I'm a Muslim." But instead I said "No religeon" I sort felt I'd told a lie, like my conscience was telling me I was a Muslim.
I'm not going to tell you exactly how it was becasue alot of you wouldn't understand, so I 've altered a few things.
Anyway. For me I remember when sunny even despite all the pain that came with it. I supose I just expected there to always be light but gradually I realised that the pain was taking over and so I settled for a sort of twilight dim grey level of light. Then one day someone attacked me with a cheese-grater. At first I was annoyed but said nothing of it. The next day the same person attacked me again and ripped open yesterdays scabs. I thought it was just a phase and so I was polite and said nothing.
For the next few months, I would get the cheese-grater treatment every single day, gradually my skin was torn off and eventually they were grating raw bone. I almost couldn't feel it by this time. I resigned myself to the fact that this was going to happen every single day. I even thought about rubbing salt in the wounds just to pacify the grater, but even at the place of despair I couldn't sacrifice my morals. Just like I couldn't cut the hand off the one who was grating. And so day by day, a little more of me was ripped off, I stopped forming scabs after a while. The blood drainned away a long time ago. And then whilst I was recouperating after a grating by being forced on to a piece of toast, I tasted some worcester sauce and thought: "Woah, well ain't this what I 've been looking for!"
You see despite my tough stiff-lip attitude, the abuse I was recieving caused me to look for something, something that became a desperate urge. I began to realise just how dark it had got, and I needed to find that thing.
So when that worcester sauce hit me it was like a chemical reaction, and suddenly I had hope. The grilling continued but I didn't mind it so much now, and then one day I was ready. I started placing slices of fried tomato, mushrooms and onions on my self. A sprinkle of salt until a few weeks later the cheese grater returned and said, "Its time to finish it." That person raising the knife and swung it down slowly, a slingle slice respite from the unbearable grating. And as I was split into two neat traingles I smiled.
Serves one.

The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.
