‘Are you fine?’: Poem by Ananya Shunglu, Apeejay School, Noida

A poem dedicated to my favorite band- BTS

Are you fine, the voice echoes in my head, 

Yeah I am, the only way I survived is by grabbing a thread. 

You looked through me when no one did,

told me to continue the work with dedication, as I always did. 

Isn’t it funny how can you laugh and cry with someone

who doesn’t know you exist, 

With a longing feeling I always tell myself that it’s fine

They always told me

“You are not the best, I am just glad to know you always stood out of the rest”.

The days in which darkness took over me, 

You told me everything will be fine like it once used to be.

You might not know me

but I know all your stories by heart.

I was just a fan girl in your universe,

where you were shining like a star. 

I will be standing for you in the hardest of time

And promised myself to bring a smile. 

I am the one who can be a change,

in the path of getting better and will work hard,

instead of focusing on when I once lost myself as a bait.
