I was walking back to my seat with nothing in my hands but an exam waiting for answers, a hall full of silence, time counting itself in minutes and marks. I stepped out only to leave my bag, never knowing something else was about to be written into me. At the last bench she stood - not calling, not trying, just being. The world kept ignoring beauty like it always does, but I failed… my eyes found her before my thoughts could look away. Then it happened. Her eyebrows lifted once, softly, slowly, like the moon moving through a thin cloud. No signal, no intention, just a quiet rise carrying a small sacred happiness that entered me without sound. Her eyes held a depth no book had ever taught, and her brows rested around them like alankāra - not decoration, but completion. I forgot where I was going, forgot why I was walking, time loosened its grip, and the exam, the paper, the rules faded somewhere far away. I was not lost in confusion, I was lost in clarity - the kind that comes when something true stands before you. She did nothing more. She did not speak. She did not smile. Yet something in me quietly came undone. Because some moments do not need to repeat to last forever. I reached my seat at last carrying a strange new weight no invigilator could ever take. The paper was full of questions, but my heart had already answered one - even in a room built for judgment, beauty can rise for a second like the moon, and leave a person silently transformed!!!! WORK FROM: TO HER WHO ALREADY KNOWS!

A Question the Paper Didnt Ask!!!

Maybe I should've stopped him more. Like a moth, drawn to the flame of my silence. no matter how warm it feels, too much light is bound to burn. Even if he is happy now, he might wake up with ash in his mouth. Sometimes, I am afraid of your unconditional kindness-- like rain falling on a paper house. Beautiful, but destined to collapse. Even if it's a fleeting connection, I am afraid that one day... you might regret me.

PHOTOGRAPH
It's eating me up alive, Or am I too rotten to be fed? Alone, inside-out, my head— Let me out of this horror fest. Pictures became archives, Of a repetitive, stagnant time. Anger manifests itself— Am I rotten enough yet? A sharp pain in my chest; I put on a smile instead. Juices seeping out, blood-red— Pages fill my medical files. Is it supposed to be a crime? I am my own target. The old folks lied— An apple couldn't keep me alive. Words cut deeper than knives, Wounds that fester in my mind. Home to others, not myself— Am I rotten enough yet?

APPLE
Who am I? I think to myself all the time. I want to be someone. But how do I figure that out? I have this dream. But is that who I really am? How do I know? I feel lonely and Scared. Life is a clock. Keeps moving Never stopping. One day. I will be left behind. While the world moves on. Slowly, but Surely. Steady. But I am not ready For the universe To see me For who I am. Who I want to be. I am frightented To challenge myself. Monotonic movements. Day by day. Feeling low. Drunk on daydreams. When will I feel whole? When will I be... ME?

Who am I?
The tears running down my face are like endless streams there’s no stopping them And the mask I wear destroys itself at night Because at night is where I truly become myself You fool the ones you love and betray yourself in becoming someone you once could never imagine to be You ride a roller coaster with the name Life and it’s something you battle all the time it’s never ending You try and appreciate everything but everything you do is taken for granted and your beautiful light soul becomes the darkest one
