Dr Izzati poem

Embodiment of an

Aesthetical lit summer

Memory lanes like cake icings

I recall – my subconscious

The dream I had

The dots splicing

My anxiety and OCD

Would not stop me

From finishing the papers

It felt like the sofa

Was my support system

Woke up for research papers

To lie down again

Thesis would not end me

Thesis would not surpass me

That dream was

That I would finish my PhD

And it materialized

Not one other soul

Could take that journey away from me.
