Pankti Vadalia Poems

The world to her was a fairy tale
Till the moment she came across
That Dark Day.
The Sun shone;
...

Pulled down by curses, turned down with mockery
Lies and scams rooted in reverence and flattery
Her admirers were few, often reducing to none
But all noticed her light, brighter than the sun
...

The day starts with a sunrise
Waking up fresh minds and eyes.
Cool breeze, calm and soothing;
Chirping birds, butterflies dancing..
...

My dear mother!
Without you, I'll wither..
You are best in everything;
Whether cooking, working or teaching...
...

I watch her faking a smile to hide her wounds
How do I tell her I've come to share the woe.

She sits in silence, stubborn and determined
...

I stand here alone, missing your presence
In this dark night's endless luminescence
While in this wait there is a pain
But also a belief, that it's not in vain:
...

I never fear any dark or sad times,
Because I know you'll be there to wipe my wet eyes.

I don't hesitate dreaming for something different
...

I had been born a caterpillar;
A vulnerable caterpillar.
Lived a vulnerable life
Did what I should never have done;
...

The truth is,
She did not become a heroine for the movie she worked in.
She is the Heroine for the Heroine she chose to be
Even when the world tried to shatter all her beliefs.
...

She was a statue made of broken pieces.
Each piece shone like a star shimmering
Each narrated a unique story
Each capable of creating history.
...
