Poetry Debanjana Ghatak

I am self made

When I looked at the mirror

I see my real self,

Which is uncut and original,

Which is tired of all the challenges

But still chants not to give up.

Which is ill treated and looked down upon by influencial elements,

Which is dominated and tortured for selfish desires,

But, it still speaks to go forward and beyond.

I’m committed to never quit my smile,

I’ll respect my desires and will follow my soul.

You’ll come and break me but I’ll rise again.

You’ll hit and see me bleed but I’ll revive and stand erect.

You’ll take away my voice but I will sing and conquer.

I’m original and self made.
