‘What a waste’: Poem by Jasnoor Kaur, Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg, Jalandhar 

Class: 9

What she wanted to be?
Did someone ask?
Yes, she wanted to be

A girl, her mother was proud of.
A girl, her father wants her to be.
A girl, everyone expected her to be.
But in this lonely and fragile world,
She became the girl they wanted.
But not the girl,
She wanted to be.
And why?
Huh, how can she be,
When everything she dreamed of
Was snatched from her.
On the bed of death,
She thinks about everything
Knowing everything she did
Was not for herself.
What a waste!
