Melissa Asregadoo-Rose is a high school teacher and poet hailing from East Canje, Region Six.  Melissa credited her church for developing her writing and poetic talents. Below is a poem written by the talented teacher:

Questions with options
Decisions, no time for discussions Rushing with no limitations
To live on the edge, wild imitations
Gifted with 2020 vision, I saw it clear Beyond the lights which disappear
Determined steps, no time to spare Ready to dive, head first, no gear!

One Young Woman’s Journey to Building a More Inclusive Guyana

“I left the workshop feeling motivated to put all that I had learnt into action” – Morvina Szala

Countdown, rushed in and over the border Tripped on life, tangled in disorder
A new age of masked emotions
Hidden smiles and quarantined evasions
Caught off guard, my thoughts entangled
Unplanned routine, my plans were mangled A fool for fear, a fear for nothing
Nothing to say, nothing to do but something

A violent takeover
With a vibrant makeover
New friends, new laughter, new hope
A hope to discover the heart of a home and with prayer learning to cope A year of risky takes and reboots
A cyber cycle of bytes and data pursuits
Of my voice being featured in web retreats
Unwanted deletes, required repeats and network meet and greets

 It was my moment to breathe
To unfold layers for facades to burn To become intimate with my purpose
To make intelligible suggestions and discuss
When the world cocooned within the clasps of this storm Is released to embody its true form
There will be treasures of growth
Birthed from wounds of struggles or failures, maybe both.
