‘Will I still find my way?’: Poem by Arica Batta, Apeejay School, Saket

Class: 10A

Will I be able to meet my family’s needs?
Will I bring them joy, make them proud?
Will I win this race of life?
Can I overcome the obstacles in my way?
This overthinking decays me, day by day—
What if I fail to live up to their expectations?
Will they still love me?
Will I ever achieve my goal?
What if I don’t?

Hope that things won’t change
Is the fuel that builds my confidence.
I will build the strength to chase
What I’ve dreamt of for so long.
Now is the time to make this my aim,
Start working toward it—this is my target from now on.
I am sure, I will.
