Miracle Poem

Miracle

I’m Muhammad Jaber.

I’m a young Rohingya refugee.

I’m a youth walking through an endless journey. 

I’m a student searching for light in the dark. 

I’m the strength rising in my generation. 

I’m the hope that keeps my people going like a candle glowing in the midnight.

I’m a voice resonating in the silence of struggle. 

I’m a flame burning in the cold winds of despair. 

These hidden miracles inside me give me the courage

To fight for peace, to stand for freedom.

I am a miracle.
