Rest in peace: Poem by Varinda Chopra, Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg, Jalandhar 

When you know that it’s your end,
These words will come to you, as your friend.
It’ll take you to the start,
As far as you could remember.
A locked heart will open up,
& will spell every word.

People you hated and people you still do,
the words stuck in your ear.
They say chew it and spit it out,
But,
How to unlove a person, who was a part of you?

A part where silence ate you.
A part where tears popped out.
A joy of happiness.
Moments that flew at one shot.

Before you take your last breath,
Free yourself from something
that you never did your whole life.
A sombre on the face.
A regret in the heart.
You did your best.
Take your seat, rest and breathe in.

A last sigh, a last drop.
Now it’s all over.
All love, All joy.
Your last voice, eyes close.
Oh goodness gracious!
Give peace to the departed soul.
