taanya khanna Poems

Staring into the emptiness
deafened by the silence
just looking and not thinking
seems like a hole, a void
...

i think, i fear, i crawl, i enroll
i am confident i prepare, i get nervous, i regret
i forget which competition it was
was it the debate i ran from or
...

'school is fun', seemed
weird coming out of a
4th grader.
ask why and you'll have
...

What's my aim in life?
I don't know!
Would you slice me, for that, with your knife?
Yes your knife that cuts my throat
...

What's a ball without a kick
That's almost how we try and trick
Like mountaineers with cold food
We are always down with a football shoot
...
