Very often
in our quest for reading poetry, we tend to look only for famous works but what
we don’t realise is that words of young writers can be just as touching and
emotional too. Srishti Sharma is one such poet who writes heartfelt verse in
both English and Hindi and you can feel the emotions of her words that have
poured out of her heart.
Compunction
I am a
changed Person
I am the only reason for those changes
A change
called disaster or destruction
Yes! It was
no less than that
I wish it
was a nightmare
But it is a
bitter truth
inked to
the blank pages of my life
Inerasable,
incorrigible
Just to be
accepted the way it is
I am a
sinner, I have only one way
That’s compunction
I am
stained with slander
I can’t
wash them away, anyway
I am a
criminal even if I accept it or not
I will be
tainted with despair and disappointment
I have
murdered their faith and hope
I left them
hopeless when they believed
me to be
the best
I was their
pride and I bumped their
expectation
into ashes
I am so
unfortunate
I have no
words to apologize
For I
wasted too much explaining my
Unproven story
I can just
gather my broken pieces
I know I
cannot be whole again
because I
have lost most of the pieces
way back
It’s hard
to be original as I was
But
somewhere I hope and believe
I can
It Slays
Sometimes
my heart inclines
To the
things that are actually fine
The proper
perfectness around
That
actually don’t surround
What
ingredients do we need?
To create
it and to breed
What is
that one thing beneath?
That no matter
what
It just doesn’t
reveal
I’m
desperately in search of healing
The pain in
me isn’t relieving
I give it tremendous
attention
And yet it
leads to destruction
Shall I try
to find a remedy
Shall I let
it dry over
Shall I
leave it empty
To care and
not to bother about
It isn’t
just to whisper or shout
But the
fact that it’s existence
Stays and
stays
And despite
all efforts
It devours
us and slays
