Hope
By Camilla Chebet
You open a new page, but it’s got the streaks and marks of the one overturned.
You open the curtains to a new day, but it’s the same cloudy, dark sky of yesterday.
You try to find yourself, but you’re still lost in the maze of the past.
You struggle to take charge, but you’re still taken over by past events.
You sit still, helpless and stressed just as you have before. Then you realize, you never knew where you were going until you knew where you came from, because progress does not move from front to back but from where you are to where you choose to be.
So whether its 1 step forward and 3steps back, you’re still moving and that’s all that counts.
