Time didn’t knock. It barged in ripping childhood from our fists like a thief in daylight. The girls we played tag with? Now wear gold chains and bridal sarees, their mothers whispering, “Find a good groom before it’s too late.” The apus who once cursed physics exams now cradle babies, their laughter echoing in kitchens we never entered. And the vaiyas those college gods we once feared, we used to ask, “How does it feel to be grown?” Now we know. And it’s not gentle. It’s brutal. It’s fast. It’s nineteen years old and already nostalgic. We used to dream of this age now we mourn it before it’s even over. We blinked. And the playground turned into wedding halls. The group chats turned into ghost towns. The selfies turned into memories we scroll past but never open. We are the last breath of college life. The final page before the next chapter writes itself without asking.

“Time Didn’t Knock—It Stormed In” (A Poem for the Ones Who Blinked and Grew Up)
Siento un vacío en el corazón. ¿Y si lo arranco? ¿Dejará de sentirse? No... No debería intentarlo, me moriré. No lo puedo llenar con ninguna emoción. Creo que estoy perdido. Siento un vacío en el corazón. ¿Y si lo regalo? No… Sería un alma muerta, un cuerpo sin sentido. Quisiera estar acostado sobre un suelo blanco, ver cómo me desangro y se tiñe de rojo. Pero no… Tengo que seguir viviendo. ¿Algún día dejaré de estar así?   -S.F

Vacío
Since when I hath layed the blue orbs on you, You captured thee. You hath been my friend, a company. Ups and downs you're always 'round. You didn't leave me as doth others around. Over powering my heart and thy soul of ill. For you hath been my teacher that teached me good will. Gave life to the burned and crumpled paper. Filled the deserted newspaper. Put colour to the lackluster painter. And hey, I dont want to be a poetess nor a writer. I want to be the letter that they put together. Important and remembered forever.
