Matchstick-like soul

-
If you keep the stick too high, 
Its ashes will prematurely fly.
If you keep it too low, 
It will die even by a gentle blow.
If you keep it stable,
It'll last as long as it's abled.

Dear Bestfriend

Dear Bestfriend,                           Now that you're going away, across the bay, I'll miss seeing you everyday, I'll miss our sessions with the mushy clay, The sandbox that turned us blue and grey, Our tug of war series till the rope frayed. Now that you're going away, across the bay, Oh I'd miss seeing you everyday. I hope and wish that you could stay, But everyone's helpless in life's play, But worry not, my heart is where you'll forever stay. I wrote this poem when I was 11 and my bestfriend Adyasha was going out of the station as her dad got posted to Delhi. Shifting and saying goodbye is the hardest part of being an army kid.

There's hope

-
Defeated, you collapse on your knees, Tears rushing down your eyes, Thinking it’s the end, You let your ambitions bend, But once a legend said; failure is a bruise And not a tattoo, Don't treat it as a taboo, There's hope, there's scope, Get up; clean your scraped knees, Get that charm back in your eyes, Don't be afraid to fall again, Falling down gives you all the experiences to gain, Come on! Start over, don't disdain, There's hope, there's scope.

Your Game

-
It's okay to fall down sometimes; To lament over the hard times, It's not a crime to cry, But never be afraid to try; To fight back again; Without thinking about loss or gain, Fight for thee goal you have to reach, Keep working, life has a lot to teach, Many obstacles will come your way Life may even begin to sway, But stop not just yet, Nothing can stop you; No rules are set, You are the mastermind of your game, This entire lifetime is your chance to make your name, Do what your heart loves, Don't let anyone else's hands in your gloves, Don't let anyone tarnish your shine, Faith doesn't only lie in  a shrine, So fight back again; Without worrying about loss or gain.
