‘Ghostly’: Poem by Pratiksha Nandy, Apeejay School, Kharghar 

Everybody walked past me

And I’m paralyzed while the ground swallows me

Burying and hiding me underneath

Now the world is one person less,

One person lost forever from its entity 

The universe now devoid of someone cared for hardly 

But nobody, not a soul can see

The eyes know not of the ghostly 

And as my shadows haunt the ground

It echoes my wails of agony forever

But oh the world continues and my voices slowly drown
