Carry On

What was that

I have a project to submit?

What was that

There's a proposal to send?

What was that

An assignment due tomorrow?

Hang on a second -

let me catch my breath.

Hang on a second -

my mind is spinning.

Hang on a second -

I need to think.


Do you have regrets?

I'm drowning in them. Do you have dreams?

Mine are lost in ashes.

Do you have something to live for? I think I did,

But perhaps no more.


There is no expiration date, The sky's the limit,

Yet I'm running on borrowed time,

Am I truly meant for it?


They're building families,

and legacies,

and businesses,

and a list of achievements a mile-long

But here I am,

Struggling against an invisible wave while they row their boats towards their goals,

ride their yachts towards their dreams.

But here I am,

barely holding on

to my tiny float on never-ending seas.


We are where we are

Because Allah Knows We are where we are

For where there is hardship, there will be ease

We where we are

Because truly

We can


Take a breather,

Take a break!

Come back stronger!

Weary soldier.

Come back wiser!

Dear learner.


May your journey be in His Blessings

May your sojourn be eased Carry on and carry with you - these words of encouragement.
