A Journey Of Self DiscoveryI Poem by Kreeti Dhanuka,15, Guwahati
Kreeti Dhanuka, a 15- year-old student of Welham Girls’ School – Dehradun introspects on the vagaries of her mind and the uncertainties of the journey called life.
My journey, halfway spun
Dejection, repentance, jubilation, and love
I experienced it all.
Sometimes became the hero,
Other times, the villain.
But now, when I look back, my legs stop working.
My mind gets into a quandary.
The expectations of others,
Operate like a fire inside me.
I’m not sure if it’s engulfing me or encouraging me.
Should I continue the path?
Will I let the ones who love me down?
Is this what I was made for?
Are there thoughts that cross my mind?
But the final thought shatters me: What have I done with my life?
I wonder if the success was worthwhile.
Was I living my life?
Or was I just another spider stuck in its own web?
