I wrote this poem as a part of an online competition where it was selected amongst the top 20 and published in a book.
Who am I?
I am the seed of a blossom
Almost ready to cleanse the earth
With my fragrance without dearth
But someone thought me as a problem
So they crushed and left me rotten
Who am I?
I am a tiny little needle
They compare me with a dagger
Say that it is better and sharper
I am delicate, dagger can’t do what I can
It can’t create, only gives wounds and pain
Who am I?
I am the leaf of a tree
Happy with all my family nearby
Until a wind takes me away in the sky
It forces me to follow it like ghost
And then dumps me when I need it most
Who am I?
I am the planet Earth
I give life and nurture my children
Suffer pain and expect nothing in return
But my children humans have lost their way
Destroying me on the name of play
When I am dead, they will realize it too
Second mother won’t love them like I do
Who am I under all this cover?
I am a girl, sister, wife and mother!!
