Age

 You still play hide and seek!

ain't you like 19 years old?

You can try this dialogue on who's meek,

not on me who can turn you blood cold.

Oh!by the way how's uncle?

no, not your husband talking about the plumber.

Here, comes your daughter, for a 20 year old isn't she quite dull?

End is not far nor near

 Lying by your side,  I kept my hand on your stomach just to be sure you are breathing right. It's not like your day has come, I would be the first one to know that. The thing that shook me was the last sentence you spoke to me before lying down. Those weren't words but a slap on my fragile heart, there are lots of things that you have said which had hurt me, but this one was the most treacherous. How could you do this to me? I spent the time tossing and turning, silent tears falling onto my black sleeve. I prayed and prayed to everyone I remembered to be with you till my last breath. If you leave me here and fly back, it would be your freedom without being free. I would never let you taste the freedom which you so want to enjoy. Would it be possible if we all leave the world at the same time, no one left to wail behind us?

Memoir of swing

-
 Swinging to and fro on the tree swing, on the road with no one to be seen. People say that this place is haunted, but that's the only place where I feel wanted . The tree seems old and wise, suddenly there is some noise, ahh it's just a mice. Looking up in the sky, the clouds seems dark and angry, maybe clouds introspection has been broken because of me. The land seems barren and dusky, but I feel more attached to it rather than my father who is devoted to whiskey. Maybe the tree has it's own story, seems like it's eyes are tired remembering the clash of whigs and tories. -Shruti Upadhyay

Truth or Lie

-
 My voice is trapped due to societal norms, I can't say the truth cuz of dignity of yours. But it hurts me everyday to see the thorn like lies covered with flowers. It kills me whenever comes the call, why can't people accept their follies and falls? They say I don't know anything, I am naive but what about the imprints that can't be vanished from my brain? Cheating is wrong I have learnt from the start, but what if those who teach you are doing wrong? Many people surrounding me, but no one to talk falling in this mud going deeper down, I can't walk. -Shruti Upadhyay
