Open Wound I Poem by Dhriti Goel
A powerful poem by 14-year-old Dhriti Goel from New Delhi about growing up, battling inner struggles, and finding strength through faith and resilience. “Open Wound” beautifully captures the emotional journey of teenager.
Open Wound
A small little, innocent girl,
Living a happy life bright like a pearl.
Bright in studies and in life.
Everyone loved her just like a drive.
The time passed she turned thirteen,
Entering the teenage was not so keen.
Felt the world, reality struck hard,
No more the drive or the starred.
People came and left deep wounds,
The world kept on giving more boons,
Not giving time to heal the cut,
She felt drastic and wanted to shut.
The open wounds started hurting even more,
As she discovered the auro of overthinking.
Where you stop loving and start hating everything,
She entered the dark phrase- life destroying.
She didn’t loose hope, believed in god & had faith,
The time will change and will make her raise.
Ignored the flaws looked at her paws,
She could still walk and will not pause.
And that “little girl” is me indeed.
Hoping for the time to change and not cheat.
Waiting for the hard work to be paid off,
Working hard to achieve success- that’s the cause.
The open wounds will heal soon,
As soon as the success comes, cool.
The little girl will rise again
Stronger and brighter, she’ll regain.
