Inner Voice

BEING A GIRL

The days have gone old yet the wound is fresh, my soul is now dead, inside a lifeless flesh. Frantic are both days and dreams, when will they have pity on my silent screams. My lips are silent, but the soul inside shouts, my trust and love for others is now turning into doubts. The eyes of every man wants me to eat, why in my mind, this wanders on repeat? Why my body, every hand wants to chase they're humans but like demons they behave. To feelings and emotions, they pay no heed i smile all day and in nights, tears i bleed. Now creepy are the smiles and helps are a trap, over dirty minds, innocent faces are wrapped. Love and relations are now just goods for trade, even the shadows of men, now make me afraid. No matter how hard i try, that day i can u forget, i wish if being a girl would not be a regret. Himani Gupta BBSSVP (12th), Udhampur.

In fake world

I wear a mask Just like u all do....... No one is real With a personality others make...... I keep on living in this world that's fake We all just show the world How our life is just perfect! Deep inside we all are broken But this emotion is not shown...... In the ocean of our ego, greed and show off Infinite life seems so still..... I am lost in this world that's fake Its hard to trust someone, hard to find someone strong....... Who can handle my emotions That will definitely Never fade away.........

'Hare Krishna'

O Krishna, the deity of deities, The glorious name of thee Makes us feel glee and liberate us from the bondage of birth and death. The bizarre worldly pleasures Repel us from the real treasures. Let's know and realise the real treasure Let's acquaint ourselves with the philosophy Ultimate and transcendental. The world is mortal and awful Chant Krishna's name, be fearless and blissful. Let's close our eyes and chant Krishna's name Let's get rid of ourselves from false fame. Alka Sharma Teacher at GMS Alora, Satwari Jammu

Opportunities

These are spontaneous , They happen by chance . As some keep trying , While others don't even give a glance . Some got choices , While others got options . Even a worthless penny , Could be sold for millions in the auctions . When time is hard , Never run . Else you would be the soldier , Who couldn't use a loaded gun . If there are no opportunities , Create one . Just like Mohammad Ali , Make the world stun . Arnav Sharma Geography Hons. SBSC (DU) .
