“We did not enter this world merely to be accepted, admired, or understood. We came with the capacity to learn, the freedom to choose, and the responsibility to give meaning to our existence. May we live so thoughtfully, love so sincerely, and pursue our purpose so faithfully that, when our journey reaches its end, we can greet eternity with gratitude rather than regret.”
— Bidita Rahman
By Bidita Rahman
I did not come into this world
To kneel before another’s pride,
To beg for love from hardened hearts,
Or let their judgments chart my course.
I was not born to please the crowd,
Nor justify the dreams I chase,
Nor carry every cruel remark
Like shadows that refuse to fade.
Let whispers travel through the wind,
Let bitter tongues pronounce my name;
Their words cannot diminish me,
Their judgments cannot write my fate.
I have no time for borrowed hatred,
No days to squander on hollow praise;
My soul was made for greater journeys,
For loftier peaks and brighter days.
I came to gather wisdom’s light,
To turn my suffering into grace,
To rise beyond my yesterday,
And face my destiny with courage.
I came to learn the art of courage,
To build where others chose to break,
To unearth strength within my silence,
To give far more than I could take.
Let others measure life by applause,
By fleeting power, wealth, or fame;
I seek the wealth of inner freedom,
A soul that will not bow to shame.
For when the final sunset calls,
And earthly victories fade away,
When all my battles turn to silence,
And time has nothing left to say,
I wish to meet the Supreme Power
With neither bitterness nor fear,
But with a smile upon my spirit
And gratitude for every year.
And if I’m asked how I have lived,
May my existence be my reply:
I learned.
I struggled.
I grew.
I achieved.
I loved.
I endured.
And I never surrendered my soul
To the judgments of the world.
I did not live to please humanity.
I lived to honor my humanity.
And when I finally meet eternity,
May I carry no unfinished courage,
No unlived purpose,
Only the quiet grace of a peaceful smile,
And a soul that knows
It truly lived.

I turn the ashes of past humiliation into the fire of conviction, the weight of hurt into the strength of discipline and every hour of hard training into a promise to myself. I don’t train to get stronger. I train to regain my pride, to rebuild my self-respect and to rise above yesterday. I train to be the human I know I can be. I train to be the human I know I am. I train to be the warrior. I don’t train to prove myself to the world. I train to honour the warrior in me. That is the truest form of prosperity. That is the only form of prosperity that can ever come from struggle and the refusal of the soul to give up.

The past may carve its scars, but discipline becomes the wind beneath the spirit, urging it to rise far above what once weighed it down.
“I have carried pain, humiliation, burdens, and battles that the world may never understand. Yet I remain in enthusiastic motion—not because my journey has been easy, but because my purpose is greater than everything that tried to stop me.”

An Unbroken Journey of Purpose, Pain, and Possibility
By Bidita Rahman
I have wandered through nameless storms,
Carried wounds that spoke in silence,
Endured the weight of shame.
Humiliation rapped at the door of my soul,
Yet never conquered my ultimate goal.
I have tasted pain that words cannot define,
Embraced heavy burdens and claimed them as my own.
I have watched my dreams drift beneath darkened skies,
Yet kept a thousand suns blazing inside my mind.
Some days, my energy flickered, barely a flame,
Some nights, my heart wandered, forgetting its own name.
But even when the world appeared still,
My purpose whispered softly, urging me to rise.
I do not walk to escape my past,
Nor chase a victory meant to last.
I move because my soul still knows
That even in suffering, something beautiful grows.
My scars are chapters, not my chains,
My losses are lessons, not simply pains.
Every rejection, every closed door,
Has taught my spirit to become more.
I carry possibilities within my chest,
A restless hope that never sleeps.
With zeal, courage, and grace,
I keep moving forward at my own steady pace.
I am not untouched by sorrow or fear,
I have simply learned the art of perseverance.
I may grow weary, I may bend,
But my unfinished story refuses to end.
For I was never promised an easy road,
Only the strength to carry my load.
And although the journey has wounded me deep,
There are sacred promises to myself I must keep.
I am still here. I am still becoming.
My heart beats alive, my spirit keeps running.
Not every battle has been won,
Not every dream has seen the sun.
But I have a purpose beyond my pain,
A thousand reasons urging me to rise again.
And while life moves through shade and light,
I will keep my vision fiercely burning bright.
I am not finished. I am not done.
I am the journey itself, not just the one who has won.
With every breath, through all I endure,
I remain in motion, determined and sure.

By Bidita Rahman
I am tired,
not simply from the burden of passing days,
but from the endless responsibilities
that quietly sip away my strength.
I am tired of being strong,
of carrying burdens no one sees,
of tucking exhaustion behind a practiced smile,
and murmuring, “I am fine,”
when my soul quietly pleads for peace.
Life has asked so much of me—
my patience, my courage, my sacrifices,
my wakeful nights,
and the small, quiet pieces of myself
I have given away in the name of responsibility.
Sometimes, I wish
the world would stop demanding,
the clock would stop running,
and I could simply exist,
without expectations,
without explanations,
without another battle to fight.
There are nights
when even my dreams grow heavy,
when silence becomes my sole companion,
and tears stay unspoken
because tomorrow still needs me.
Yet, I rise again.
Not because I am never broken,
not because I have endless strength,
but because deep down beneath my exhaustion
lives a steady determination
that refuses to surrender.
I have learned
this courage is not always a roaring fire.
Sometimes, it is a weary heart
choosing to beat with hope
for just one more day.
I do not need to conquer the world tonight.
I do not need to prove my strength to anyone.
Perhaps surviving today,
with dignity and grace,
is already its own quiet victory.
And if tomorrow finds me weary again,
I will move a little slower,
breathe a little deeper in,
and remind myself
that even the strongest warrior
deserves a gentle moment of rest.
I am exhausted, but I am not defeated.
I am carrying responsibilities, but I still carry dreams.
I am tired of life’s battles,
yet I have not let go of the journey.
For as long as a small light remains in me,
I will protect it—
not by burning myself endlessly,
but by learning when to rest,
when to release,
and when to quietly begin again.
I am tired.
I am human.
I am still quietly becoming.
And I will keep going—
not at the cost of losing myself,
but with the hope of finding myself again.
By Bidita Rahman
Tonight, I set my sorrows gently down,
And let the stars quietly melt my frown.
What once slipped away, I no longer chase,
I welcome this moment with calm dignity.
The past may whisper softly, but cannot remain,
I value its dwelling shadows and turn away.
Beneath the mild moon, my mind finds rest,
I release the past and accept the present.
“Not every wound needs an answer; some simply need the peace of being released.”
By Bidita Rahman
The moon holds my scars,
I forgive the fading past,
Grateful, I bloom free.
“I turned the pain of my past into possibility, the weight of my wounds into wisdom, and every challenge before me into another reason to grow.”
