‘Words’: Poem by Varinda Chopra, Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg, Jalandhar 

Words hit hard,

Especially when they echo.

Tears follow the track,

Shadow of the bitter

Though, hurt is a good reflection,

It’s how you connect with people.

But I bet, you try your best to forget,

Some flashbacks of what you just read.

Hands turn red, but there is no end,

Healing quotes running throughout the web.

A steady spread, deep and slow,

This will come again tomorrow.

Pretty people, on the internet, so beautiful, so great,

Compensation for your hate.

But behind the screen, there is an unheard scream,

So please stop playing with your daydream.

Words are touching,

So let them touch and let them go.

Surely this echo will be sweet,

If you allow it to be released.
