Hrushikesha Mohanty (Bangalpur, Balasore, Odisha, India)

Told and at times self told
I ran and ran
Encouraged, enticed and at times challenged.
Met some, got some
Lost many of them
But chose to run and run
Not looking back again and again.

I did, at times perfect.
At glee elated run again
To look back never again,
To made me alone remain.
