                                       Life Hasn't Started Yet




                                                                       yUSRA MOHAMMED



          I  am  curious  about  the  details  of  my         about  my  taste  and  judgment  of  things  and

          upcoming life, about the image of the house         my view of the world around me, about All
          that will hold me, and the walls that I will be     those things I've been so familiar with until
          more  familiar  with  than  my  present  house,     I've  forgotten  what  their  existence  means,

          about  the  details  of  my  day  and  the          about the nights I've been waiting for after it
          conversations  I  will  have,  I  always  wonder    exhausted  my  soul,  I'm  looking  forward  to
          about  the  sunshine  that  I  will  see  every     knowing what I'll look like when I leave my

          morning and whether I will feel its light as I      twenties,  what  will  I  be  and  how  will  I
          was, about the alleys I will walk, about the        appear, what will the world be like then, and
          different  evenings  and  the  sounds  I  will      who will be the great powers, how much of

          become accustomed to until they become the          dreams  and  how  many  of  them  would
          most  close  to  my  heart,  about  things  I       disappear  and  how  many  would  emerge  on
          thought  they  would  never  change,  about         the  face  of  the  earth,  how  many  of  my

          people  I  thought  were  part  of  my  eternal     dreams will come true, who will continue to
          journey, About the details of my face every         as they were in the past, who will leave the

          year and the continuity of my favorite things,      struggle  for  me  at  the  first  opportunity,
          about My passion towards life and its warm            about  this  hand  that  will  lift  me  and  that
          aspects,  about  my  heart,  which  stills  nine    face  that  will  understand  me,  what  will  be
          years  old,  about  the  responsibilities  that  I  my job and what my priority list would be,

          will bear and about the things that I will lose     what the stars would look like, how many  of
          until  I  accept  its  absence,  about  the         them would die and how many would shine

          separation  my  brothers  in  different  houses     brighter, I fantasize about what my favorite
          and talking less than we used to,                   color would be,


                                                                                                                   32
