‘Repentance’: Poem by Anahita Singh, Apeejay School, Nerul

Class: 8

My hands are locked in a handcuff,
Now I am realising what I have done,
I have brutally murdered a someone, 

Killed a life

As I am sitting behind the bars,
Tears roll down my cheeks,
It draws all the attention, policemen, 

the people who also attempted a crime,
stare at me,
I bury my face in my palms,
Knowing that I am being watched by everyone,
Knowing that they are thinking I am weak, childish,
But inside I know that I am strong,
I have done a crime and I am repentant

I want to reform myself

I want to lit a fire inside me 

A fire of good deeds, education

I want to heal!
