It’s my unspoken words
Gone unheard often
In the dunes of fear.
Gathering it bravely
Like beads of the rosary
To pour out my mind
Refining it with creativity.
I pitched into scribbling
When my destiny
Fizzled out my long-held dream.
I didn’t break but
Learned to expect less
From life and live it
With its own way.
So I started afresh
My journey with a new chapter
With an unknown bunch of people
In an unknown place
Only to find the unknown me
Who captures the moments
With a pen in Devanagari.
Then slowly fell
For the English
Tried many chunks
Of poetry.
When the whole world was locked
By a mighty minuscule
I unlocked my passion
For writing.
Then a newspaper piece
Changed my life
I came to know about Pratilipi
India’s largest self-publishing platform
Published my poem
“Soul hidden bob”
On the last day of Julian’s calendar
Emphasizing the two and fro
Motion of life
Like a pendulum.
Thanks to the many
Whose constant support
Fuelled my passion.
On exam times
Freed from external distractions
My mind ends up
Building up a new poem
To free up the clutter of thoughts
Wondering around.
Wrote many poems,
Story and long series
But my mother tongue
Savoured my cooks up
After a long wait
Seems to be a personal success
As a writer
With the highest read count
Among my works.
Then I encountered
My new amigo
Youth Ki Awaaz
Who acknowledged my works
With keen interest
Engrossed my words
With respect.
The helplessness I felt
During local elections
Took attention
Months laterin another election
With my voice over
When it was published
In Youth Ki Awaaz
Representing the apprehensions
Of Youth of India.
My appeal to
Dismantle the patriarchial
Confinement within home
And
Demand for peace
To wipe off splotches of war
Were reached to many
through my poems.
My dream to get
Published in a paperback
Accomplished by The write order
In their poem anthology
“Give me wings”
Through which Firebrand girl
Within oneself was ignited.
This is my writing journey
Overcoming many stumbling blocks
Fighting for the passion within
Urging for a positive change
Yearning for a book of my own.
