Realm of Knowledge

Perla Bechara in EB8A wrote this incredible poem about her academic journey. Check it out below!

In the realm of knowledge
Once a weapon sharp
I wielded academia
A journey to embark

Battles with books
Conquering each page
A scholars sword
Wisdom as my wage

Yet shadows emerged
A fierce academic tide
Swiftly I turned from victor to guide

Storms of failure
A tempest unkind
Turned my triumphs to remain behind

Once a conqueror in the ivory tour
Now a victim weakened each hour
Lessons learned not from triumphs glow
But from the wounds and scars that I show

In the echo of grades and the weight of stress
I transformed from sword to an armless dress
A victim humbled by knowledge’s might
Seeking solace in the depths of the night

Oh, academic journey, a turbulent sea
From weapon to victim,
The transformation in me

Yet in this defeat
A resilient ember
A tale of struggle
A soul to remember
