‘Drowning’: Poem by Aditi Arora, Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park

Class: 11

I don’t blame myself 

I am drowning 

Drowning in the world I created 

Drowning in the work I performed 

Drowning in the ocean of shining stars 

Where is my glow being a star

Why can’t I see my glow 

My heart says ‘ I am back to myself ‘

What about that ocean of stars 

What about me?

Where am I?

Who do I want to be?

I asked these questions to God 

The answer I got is 

‘Never give up and trust yourself!’
