A CALL TO THE WRITER WITHIN

Hakim,  
the journey begins  
a step forward  
from where you paused.  

A challenge to dare 
to pour your heart  
onto pages  
for 200 days  

Rise and write  
even when thoughts  
evaporate  
like breath on glass  

Rise and write  
when the words hide  
when your brain go numb  
empty like a room after goodbye

Rise and write  
not because you feel it  
but because you need to  
because world  
still craves 

So pick up the pen
not in readiness  
but in willingness  
Hakim, rise  
Hakim, write  
the world craves
for your voice.
