HOPE POEM: "LIFE'S FLOW: AHOCHUM" BY KARIM

To anyone feeling lost in this stage of life,  

I see you, standing at the crossroads,  

dreams in one hand, uncertainty in the other.  

It’s okay to feel adrift; you’re not alone in this.

You’re just beginning your journey,  

and the pressure to succeed can be overwhelming.  

But remember, dreams don’t have to unfold overnight.  

You have time to learn, to grow, to find your way.

Feeling lost is part of the process,  

whether it's after graduation or in a role  

that doesn’t quite fit.  

It’s normal to question your path,  

to wonder what’s next amid the noise.

So what if your peers are reaching their goals?  

Their success is not a race.  

We all have our own timelines,  

our own moments to shine.  

It’s about the journey, not just the destination.

We often complicate life,  

thinking that struggle equals strength.  

But let’s not sacrifice our peace of mind.  

Embrace simplicity, take it step by step.

Each small step counts;  

you don’t need to leap ahead.  

Breathe. Allow yourself the grace  

to explore, to discover who you are.  

Knowing you’re a beginner opens doors  

to the missing pieces of your soul.

Don’t fear the uncertainties.  

With courage and faith,  

you can turn confusion into clarity.  

You deserve to enjoy this life,  

to embrace its flow without the weight of stress.

So take your time,  

trust the process,  

and remember:  

these shall pass.  

You’re on your way to finding your light,  

and it’s going to be okay.
