The sun rose, And so did she. She stretched on her tippy- toes, Her face lit up with glee. She adored the morning skies, Outside her window she gazed dreamily. But she reminded herself, the sun always lies, Soon she returned to her bed sleepily. She kissed her mother night,…
I open it, And the bookish smell fills the air. I’d rather be here Than anywhere. For here I have a world Of my own Which I control, But I also don’t. Sometimes they’re hardcovers, Sometimes they’re paperbacks And on each word my imagination hovers And after, I always end…
A photo says a thousand words But how do you describe something that cannot be photographed For what I have seen today cannot be captured through a camera lens. I’ll paint you a picture with as many words I know To give you a glimpse of Bio Bay Puerto Rico…
I met a traveller Long ago Seeds of curiosity They sow She told me the sunshine Never mentioned the rain She told me paths divine Never mentioned the pain She told me about the beauty Of this mystical terrain She told of the mighty But never the vain And while…
Wandering the unrevealed pathway is all I want to live again one day… All the magnificent mountains that passed by that serene change in the colour of sky from relishing the scenery of a baby sparrow learning to fly to cherishing those memories once lived by the little eyes. That tranquillity…
Fate gave up on me many moons ago I’m stuck in the quagmire of dust Trapped in the scorching blaze of my love With drops of sin raining down on mefrom the heavens above. Give to me the heart I’ll always desire Give to me the heart that I’ll always…
Feared by most, Loved by a few. Many view it as a ghost, And the others view it as the morning dew. Never has it paused to catch its breath, Never has it held back for a friend. Never has it stood by to pay its condolences on someone’s death,…
Stage 1: Your breakfast seems to remain untouched every morning You probably eat on the way to work I wait for a kiss now and then that I somehow am not able to feel You somehow seem to leave before I wake up and come back only after I sleep?…
Did it ever start? When will it stop? Nobody knows Once it passes through, where does all that is past goes It’s the biggest wonder of all, yet it’s the thing that keeps us running ahead But it’s a question whether we overtook it, going fast as it’s said Or…
Inhale the music. Breathe it in and drown yourself in it. Let its bittersweet melody invade your mind. Feel yourself let loose as each of its syllables conquers your body, leads you to your safe haven and helps you forget every emotion that has been haunting you. Let music be…
Artwork By Ananya Grover I close my eyes, ignoring my sense of sight, and a whole other world which I usually sideline comes to life. The world of sound. The sounds echo and pulsate in my head; familiar sounds of familiar things: objects and people, yet slightly new, with undertones…
Every note on the piano Strikes a chord in my heart. Every melody Opens another window to my soul. In every rhythm, I lose a part of myself. While with each symphony, My emotions let loose. Phrases strung together resemble my words, unspoken A complete song, however, Has the…
Listening to music makes me wanna groove It helps me forget all my worries And puts me in a good mood Music can make me forget my pain It brings out a rainbow When all I see is rain I can listen to music all day long enjoying all of…
Your mind is your labyrinth, It traps you in your biggest fear, It blinds you, Of the truths you cannot bear. Open your eyes, The exit is right there, It’s all just a game, Where you are just another player. Open your eyes, See the colour, Breathe in the…
That night I cried, And picked up the knife to end this life That night I thought, Of all the fights I’ve fought That night was pretty, As the lights were lit all over the city That night I wondered, Of all the streets I’m yet to wander That night…
It’s when you’re caught up in your own thought’s cage, They say you’re too young to be depressed and maybe this is just a phase You die a little inside, Not knowing what to do, Whom to talk to Oh! Its like a never ending flu You cry in…
Your heart might pound Your hands might shake Your palms might sweat Your will might break. You will be scared You will be uneasy You will be disturbed You will feel dizzy. Your head in chaos Your stomach in a knot Your heart in pain When you start seeing spots.…
They tell me my problems aren’t big enough Because someone has it worse Because I don’t appreciate what I have They tell me, “you’re too young to feel this way.” Like sadness has an age Like the voices in my head care They tell me I’m only looking for attention…
Hidden is the thunder, Growling behind my eyes. Hidden is the anger, In my silent cries. Hidden stays the war, Between my heart and mind. Hidden, will it stay forever? Will it never rewind? Hidden, as the world knows, The heart is made of glass. It takes a moment…
I, Khushi Rai Baranwal of class IX have written this for those who can’t express their feelings well. For those, who even after being capable to express themselves can’t do that. For those, who have just lost a friend more important to them than their breathing. For those, who are…
