Zainab Akhtar

The Process of Breaking and Healing Zainab Akhtar

We are all travellers in our own lives
Discovering parts of ourselves like
Nurtured seeds-turned tropical forest.

No two people have the same journey
Although our paths may intertwine
We are faced with challenges
Specifically tailored to us.

This is a book of journeys
Not of one person, but of many, compiled
This is a book of finding ourselves
Among the rubble, the hurt
And picking ourselves back up
Dusting off the dirt.

This is a book of the rainbow after the rain
The laughter after the pain
The healing after the break.
