‘Her apprehensive self’: Poem by Tanishka Goyal, Apeejay School, Noida
This poem narrates the feelings of a female warrior who is soon going to step into a male-dominated battlefront
Sitting under the starry night sky
Gazing at the twinkling stars
Out of the blue, she questioned her worth
Wondered if she was gallant enough
For that male-dominated front
If she was knightley much to keep up
With those brothers in arms of hers
Sewing and stitching were never her friends
But not even for once
She will let her guard down in the battlefront
From the weapons shining with her efforts
To the well-practiced battle tactics
Each thing was keen for the war
The only thing that wasn’t, was
Her apprehensive self
The voice screaming in her head
Defaming her as worthless
The voice was loud enough
To make her head a complete mess
And yet was never heard by anyone.
