Your Future's Good, a poem by Hussain Manawer

Your Futures Good

I remember results day clearly, to be honest, I was seen as a failure
Had to take a walk through the park that morning ‘cos I needed the peace and quiet that came with nature.
Some people did good,
I wasn’t even trying to give off the vibes of a hater.
But I was confused,
annoyed at everything but baffled that my whole life was allegedly determined by these letters on these small pieces of paper.
But from then I realised my future was dependent on what I learn
and only I was in control of that behaviour.
Believe me, I get anxiety,
how it creeps up on you silently,
affects your self-esteem and self-belief quietly.
But times are changing, it’s a whole new world to what our parents grew up in, entirely.
When I failed I didn’t listen to my grades,
I didn’t let them decide my future for me,
from that day I took control of my fate,
there’s no way they were going to write this story for me.
That’s what you do, you make it probable.
Be responsible.
Understand you’re powerful.
Smash every glass ceiling, break apart every obstacle.
Changing all the odds,
it’s way more than possible.
The subject of you winning in life,
that’s one subject that’s not optional.
