Tafadzwa Dumba
I am a youth filled with ambition,
a relentless voice of determination.
I hold high objectives in view;
I will hold fast to my course,
unshaken by any external force.
When existence grows demanding,
you must stand even stronger,
evolving through joy and humour,
carrying your visions far beyond the horizon.
I shall never abandon my path,
regardless of the storms that gather;
I will face every trial with courage,
for no boundary is truly absolute —
even impossibility speaks of potential within.
Experience has shown me,
that to foresee what lies ahead,
you must craft it with your own hands.
The only person who can dim your light is yourself;
refuse to hand that power to anyone else.
Others may cast doubt upon your path,
and paint your hopes in shades of scepticism,
yet their noise remains indifferent to me.
I hold unyielding faith in my journey,
and in time, I will claim my glory.
