Unapologetic

Posted on by Ishita Gupta

A vast ocean

sometimes wild
like a child throwing
tantrums
sometimes ferocious
like a God wanting
revenge.

Then at times
it turned quite quiet
like a sleeping
baby
Then at times
it was a sweet mystery
like the song of an
apsara.

There were times
when pain overtook
like a bittersweet
rhapsody
there were times
when misery engulfed
like a huge black
shroud.

It was utter chaos
her mind
but somehow
the silken strings
that held onto her scattered
thoughts
came together like pieces
from a jigsaw
and her hands moving
of their own accord
swept over the canvas
and painted a
masterpiece.

I am a girl who has chosen to explore and experience her life through words. Born and brought up in India, I am an avid reader, feminist, potterhead and a Biology student. I am also trained in a form of Indian classical dance, Kathak, and am currently learning contemporary dance style. Writing and poetry, for me, are a medium to channel my hidden emotions and also to create a change in the society. Please feel free to drop your feedback!
