If Only He Listened

Zoha Yasir

Submitted to Contest #88

You are perfect for being you. Believe in your uniqueness and talents. Is a hummingbird more perfect than an elephant? Perfect for what? Perfection is subjective, not objective. It is the same as a lock and key, the adventurer and the quest. So the only question you need to answer is that you are brave enough to walk your heaven-sent path? People can grow strong enough to whisper at the iron bars that hold them and see them bend out of their way like the craziest magic. That's what love can do: fix souls, fix brains, cure us all.

Will I Ever See A Future?

Zoha Yasir

Submitted to Contest #87

Where do you see yourself standing in the future, they ask? To them, I say, What are we doing to make a future? Everyone is caught up wondering what the future will look like, but have you ever stopped for a minute to think about what is being done in the present? If calling today a gift is why we call it the present and yesterday changes to history, what becomes of tomorrow? We live in a world of constant fear, wondering if we will live to see the light of tomorrow. No, not you. You aren't born into the families who are left to suffer the ...
