I : A poem by Chandrika Das


I'm the sweet girl, keeping her head down

Adjusting her actions, moulding her thoughts-

To escape the regular, unknown frowns

Which her ruthlessness could have brought.

 

I'm the rebel fighting for what is right

Dodging my way through judgemental glares,

Struggling to embrace the darkness of the night,

Trying not to get caught in delusional snares.

 

I'm the idea you love to believe,

Absurdly glorifying my beauty and poise,

Until the reality of my imperfections make you grieve,

Leaving me shattered with all my noise.

 

I am a rainbow covered in shades of grey,

Ransacking galaxies, searching to break free,

I cry, laugh, eat and pray.

Putting together pieces of me.


Bio:-

I am Chandrika Das, a final year MBBS student who has always loved writing and still does, no matter how far-fetched my relationship with literature might seem. So glad, could put up my jumbled thoughts somewhere.

SDG Story Writing Contest : SDGs by Meerab Butt, Bloomfield Hall School, Pakistan

  A civilization rides on the shoulders of its youth force. And when the question is of existence or sustenance of the planet as a whole, the children and the youth of the entire world need to come together, think together and act together to make that possible. Let us read what some of them have to say to us through their stories on SDGs, ponder on what they are trying to say, act accordingly and try and change our ways of life. Perhaps this is the only way we can ensure that human civilization is not wiped out of the face of this Earth .
