Roudha’s passion for poetry started when she was in 6th grade; She was inspired by a post on Instagram captioned “Dubai the city of clouds.” From that day on she started writing varying poems on numerous topics. The encouragement of both her parents and her teachers made her become the poet she is today .
You Can Be
You can be whoever you want,
if you are determined
You can be the powerful waves crashing on the shore,
the bright twinkling stars on a starry night,
the candle that never burns out,
the angry winds roaring in a stormy night,
or the compass that leads people to their destinations,
and make their dreams come true
You are the captain of your own ship,
You can steer the wheel to the whatever direction you want,
facing all the treacherous challenges in the vast ocean,
with a mindful composure
