Personal Growth Through Self-Reflection
Everyone knows life is hard
but sometimes it can feel
unforgiving.
Indiana poet Aisha Tariqa
Abdul Haqq has been there,
done that, and has just
released a triumphant poem
that illustrates the journey.
Aisha Tariqa reminds readers
there's power in self-reflection,
and that the natural next step
when you're emerging from
hardship is growth.
Her poem captures themes
central to her two books
“Four Years in Chrysalis”
and “Acres of Shadow.”
Indiana born and raised, Aisha Tariqa
transforms her own struggles as a young
Black woman coping with residual grief
and a childhood replete with adversity
into deeply insightful poetry that
illustrates the growth that can come from
suffering.
At age 21, Aisha Tariqa was determined to
break free from influences that all but
suffocated her hopes and ambitions as a
young Black girl growing up in Indiana. In
her latest poem, you can almost feel Aisha
Tariqa giving herself permission to exhale
and move forward.
If you're struggling to work things
out in your own life, grappling with
the whys and getting bogged down
in feelings of victimhood you'd
rather shed or ignore, Aisha Tariqa
lets you know you're not alone.
One must fashion a finish
line, she says. A horizon.
Something to guide you
forward.
Hungry for an abundant life built
on her own and fueled by
inexorable will, Aisha Tariqa
draws on self-reflection to realize
her potential, and you're invited to
come along for the ride.
