October: A Slam By Aasma Kamran




For ladies out there, all young and old age
For fighters out there, all ready to show grace
For victims out there, fading at snail’s pace
October, dear October be a blessing for the braves

My mother was a beauty, brown hairs black eyes
From head to toe, an example of how to live a life
When she fell ill, I thought it was ordinary
But the doctors concluded what put me through hell

I’ve always admired the way she tied
Her long hairs in a pretty French braid
Then one day she started to hide under scarfs
I was sad, so sad, to see her this bald

I cried every night when I heard her threw up
Couldn’t tell she was same
Cause she gained weight too much
I stood deadpan in hallway of hospital
The night she lost all her potential

It was October, yes October
I prayed and prayed
October, dear October be a blessing for the braves

“Dedicated to all victims and survivors of breast cancer.”

My name is Zohaib, and I'm thrilled to share my journey of success and perseverance with you. You see, I've always been passionate about writing, but when I started out in Pakistan, I faced many challenges. Writing wasn't considered a profession, and there was limited support for writers. But that didn't stop me from pursuing my dreams. I started my journey as an Academic writer and now after 12 years I am co-founder of my own Creative Agency. As a brand strategist, I am passionate about creative thinking and problem-solving, and I take pride in coming up with unique and effective solutions to help businesses thrive in today's ever-changing market. As a writer, I find joy in expressing myself through words and telling stories that inspire and entertain others, whether it's through a blog post, short story, or novel.

Kinza Asghar Khan a.k.a "Akasious" is one of the most talented writers of our era. Belonging from the city of Saints, Multan, she is dedicated and high spirited personality. Her books, Lone Wolf till last breath and The Ashes of Feelings is in the publishing process while her book Ice is black is currently being written. Unlike many, she isn’t a conventional writer and she writes on really unique topics. Her choice of topic is something that makes her prominent, as well as her topics, are informative and her stories aren’t just stories but come with an education in a way that matters. She is so full of talent and apart from her writing journey, she is on her journey to be a pharmacist, something that is so cool about her. There aren’t many people who can go in the line of creativity and technicalities together and I have no idea how she manages story writing ideas and organic chemistry together.
