A Mere Radio

I want to know how to “wow” you

But I am a mere radio.

Let me offer a gentler view.

For this metaphor had my mind in knots, a chaos I somehow wandered through.

This poem is an ask for help

Because I am fighting a battle that has already been fought and lost

Now back to the metaphor

Cause rather than a fair war his battle feels more like a heart's fall

Ill tell you a secret now, I have blocked you 4 times already now, but never for too long

I suppose radios

don't know how to stay switched off.

Seriously, back to the metaphor

I am a mere radio.

Who listens to radios anymore

But there is one person

I just don’t know what frequency they are on

That person is you

Every day I stay awake, waiting for my eyes to say its late

Doing what?

Thinking

Thinking about what frequency this listener will like

I turn my dial as soon as the day starts

Am I to be clingy today

Or stay far away

I cant seem to do justice to this metaphor, and be able to articulate

Hence ill keep it raw, so the rhymes will have to withdraw

I am a radio,

and you, my listener.

All I want

is for you to find contentment

in the tunes that emanate from my speaker.

I am a radio,

turning my dial,

hoping the next frequency

will be the one you favor.

But first,

I'd like to ask

what is it that you like?

I am a mere radio.

Now, I shall do what you adore:

the use of abstruse words.

So I beseech you,

tell me which frequency

might enamor your ears.

Should I intersperse

my melodies with silence,

or let them ululate

through the empty air

until they are worn down

by attrition?

Because I am still

a mere radio,

searching for the station

you might choose

to keep listening to.

Now Ill proceed to mention my song

That was sung out so wrong, before

I am a lost boy

In need of help

I don’t know how to fizzle

And still end up being content

So now I ask you

How am I to impress you?

So help me

Cause this is insanity

Bring me.back to reality

And make me someone you want me to be

HELPPP

Up until I was 9, I was absolutely set on joining the army. Then came the shocking revelation: I have flat feet. Apparently the military wasn't looking for a soldier built like a pancake, so that dream quietly retired itself.

​

From around 9 to 14, I was in a madrasah, so naturally I wanted to become a Quran teacher. That was the plan for a good few years.

​

Then 9th grade arrived, and I had absolutely no clue what I wanted to do. I was about as directionless as a duck trying to use Google Maps.

​

In 10th grade, I discovered Computer Science and thought, "Hey, this is actually fun." So I decided I wanted to be a software engineer. At the same time, Electrical Engineering was also on the table because I found electricity easy in Physics. Which, in hindsight, sounds like saying I should become a chef because I know how to boil an egg.

​

Unfortunately, I then proceeded to absolutely bomb my AS exams, which more or less launched those plans into low Earth orbit.

​

And now, after all these twists and turns, I'm considering Chartered Accountancy. Partly because my dad's a CA, partly because it doesn't come with a long list of prerequisites, and mostly because at this point my career planning strategy seems to be seeing which door hasn't been slammed shut yet.
