THE STORY OF A CRYING SOUL
- By SARAH KHAN
Once on a dark
winter's day
A girl was crying
under the pillow
Tears after tears and
nothing to say
She wanted a miracle
to come her way
Lonely among the crowd
at school
She would sit and
wonder 'why'
"Why can't I do
something cool?"
She would see herself
failing to try
From being called a
sensitive introvert
To being taunted by
her parents
Her words were
silenced as absurd
On the verge of her
adolescence
Being gone through
emotional abuse
Leading to insecurity
and lack of confidence
She'd fake a smile to
hide her blues
Nobody talked to her
as a consequence
She wanted to be
fearless and strong
With high dreams and
desires to achieve
She wished to be loved
since long
She's ugly and weak,
she used to believe
She looked at the
stars shining
They were shining
through the darkness
Holding her tennis
racket whining
She felt sick with
it's hardness
One day when she saw a
little bird
It was crawling over
the ground
Then its' wings spread
all furred
It began to fly freely
all around
The girl was quiet but
her soul roared
The way bird crawl,
runs and then fly!
She introspected and
her eyes lowered
No but this time she
didn't cry
When she was sitting
on her table
The book was wide open
but no!
Her attention wasn't
stable
Her interest was in
tennis though
When the educational
pressure had increased
The flying bird
inspired her
Some ray of hope was
released
Her desired to fly
were stronger
She'd practice tennis
daily at school
While tennis
competition was arriving
Back to back
challenges would rule
Despite that, she was
thriving
With the first
position in the game
She left all in shock
and surprise
She gathered around
joy and fame
Her parents were
speechless with emotional eyes
The loneliness that had dwelt around
The darkness that had preyed upon her
The people who had dragged her down abound
Pushed her forward to
be harder
Do the flashbacks
worry you?
Do your hopes used to
shatter?
Are your fears really
true?
These are the
questions that matter
Perhaps the appearance
doesn't define you
Whether you look weak
or strong, straight or curled
Your thoughts,
talents, and nature do
And the way you change the world...
Amazing poem ππThe way u put down the words gives me an insight into these feelings.
