SRISHTI PANDEY
Poems? Poetry?
Not for me
I don't like them.
As I firmly believed in my non-creative side
My professor once said
You chose Literature, you can't be art denied.
In my mind
I laughed and sighed
At those comments from my teacher who was very right.
Life went on at its pace
My mind wandered the entire earthly space
And I failed to tame my mind to rest in grace.
Made decisions that I regretted
And some sweet memories
That were only bitter and gave my life a false glitter.
I had to let it all go
But I couldn't do so
And that's where I met someone.
I met Poetry
The art of expressing myself
No judgment or assumptions made.
I met a therapist in art
I purged and made a fresh start
Now I write and kinda like it in my heart.
