salaam brothers and sisters It's that time of year When I'm full of fear Scared and unable to sleep I keep these thoughts near Afraid to share Or show my fears Revising hard Like it's a bigger Fard Than following Islam Which keeps me calm My final exams are nigh End of an era But my mind is full of terror Grade eleven Final year Have to do well A few A*'s and maybe A couple of A's That is If I'm lucky If not how do I tell my family That I failed miserably? My mum crying My dad staring Into space With an empty face Sombre dark frame of mind Takes hold like somebody died I let down the family What will people say? Relatives boasting Their kids done outstanding Whilst my parents hide their shame In isolation Holding me for the blame My life ain't worth living And I think about myself deeply I think about suicide Ending this pain and worry With escape to break free Expectations so high My older siblings are flying In their careers Doctors and engineers I'm expected To go higher Maintain the tradition To succeed in education Qualifications Job applications Working hard Lots of money Fame and success Is everything Getting married Having kids Retirement And that's the end! That's the plan my parents got But I find my mind Thinking and asking Is their more to life than this? Following the society or following my Creator? Where does happiness and success lie? This life or the next? You decide. Exams can be retaken But if I waste my life Will I get the chance to come back and re-take? wassalam

There is no stress for us The biggest carrier is the carrier of Akhirat which is easy to achieve but difficult to understand. Whether you would be doctor or engineer, at the end you will get only those things that has been alloted for you by the Almighty ALLAH. Dont be worry about yourselves. Rememer one Hadith (Bukhari) '' Everything that happens to a believer (man/woman) there is good in it" If you get success then Allah is pleased with you. Thanks Allah and He (SAW) will give you more. If you are failed/pain/uncussessful then ALLAH will recompensate you in the hereafter by reducing your punishment in the HELL (MAY ALLAH PROTECT YOU FROM THIS) or increasing your rank in the HEAVEN. So be patient, and ask help/refuge from ALLAH, ALLAH will give a way to out from your stress, Inshallah. Don't think too much about the past. All is predistined.
