Are you who you want?! Written by Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Austria
June 2019

In beautiful silence and the beautiful night around me you asked me
myself
Are you the person you wanted? I closed my eyes
Then I told her: I live my whole life
By my choice
And I am the person I wanted, but I didn’t achieve everything I wanted
The years of my life may not be enough for me because my dreams were and still are bigger, broader and more comprehensive than my community and include all humanity.
My mistakes I know and my pain I feel
I realize my sorrows, but my joy includes them.
You ask me, my soul, was I the person you wanted? And I say yes I was
But I didn’t understand it all.
I loved but I still want to love, I traveled, but I still want to travel, I learned, but I’m still eager to learn I accomplished but I still want to achieve.
The truth is that years of my life may not be enough for me, but I am the human being
