Anvi Mittal, Class IX B
For all the droughty places in the world,
You taught me how to be the rain.
After all the humiliation by the world,
You taught me how to bear the pain.
After all the shoves from the world,
You taught me how to stand upright.
When I was overshadowed by the world,
You taught me how to chase the light.
After all the losses in my life,
You taught me how to play the game.
After each time my head bent towards the ground,
You taught me how to push back the shame.
For all the empty grounds in my life,
You taught me how to create my way.
After all those lazy times I spent,
You taught me how to work night and day.
After all the ways I wounded myself,
You taught me how to hide the tears.
After all those scary nights that passed,
You taught me how to fight my fears.
After all the insults I did to you,
You helped me in whatever possible way.
All your hardwork and sacrifices,
Have made me a better person today.
