Voyage of Self Discovery

Dr. Alizehra Haider Raza

I woke up with a strong poem on my tongue,

The song of my freedom should not remain unsung.


I have decided to choose growth over comfort,

Don’t you see I am not afraid of getting hurt?


“She is alone,” people come up with this summary,

They fail to realize I am on the voyage of self-discovery.


Hey, the voyage of self-discovery is not for the weak,

It takes courage and a heart that dares to seek.


I have fallen in love with my own sense of direction,

Admiring “Being me” away from societal perception.


The path I am on may seem winding and steep,

But I have faith, this journey is worth the keep.


Like a ray of sunshine, I will shine with all my might

And won’t stop until I reach the farthest height.



The Mysterious Tomorrow

Tomorrow, hey tomorrow!

What mysteries do you have?

Will I be flying like a free bird

Or I will get trapped in an unknown cave


Will you bring joy, a lot of sorrow,

Or have you kept a mixture of both in your store?

Will I be running after my goals

Or I will get scared and explore no more?


Will the heart beats smile, will I find my love

Or the heart will keep longing, yearning in vain.

Will my prayers remain unheard, unanswered,

And I will be left to bear sorrow and pain?


Tomorrow, hey tomorrow! With open arms

I eagerly wait for what lies ahead.

I will make a new beginning, leaving the past

Though I know, my efforts may not be great.


Hey, tomorrow! You are beautiful the way you are,

I will see you tomorrow with a smile on my face.

You will come along with endless opportunities,

I will make my future with God’s grace.
