“The Brave Pillow” - By Varshini.N Of B.Sc BtCFs I Year

Pretending I feel fine,

A smile that is mine,

Cloaks my sorrow,

Only my pillow will know.

Oh, the tears that I shed!

That my eyes look dead.

It's easy to hold them back,

For courage is what I lack!

No one would ever know

When I'm feeling low.

Weeping tears in silence,

Worth not a halfpence,

As I keep out of sight,

And hug my pillow tight.

My heart is hurt and you cannot see,

A happy-go-lucky frail is all I want to be.

I've perfected masking my tears so well,

That now when I'm swell,

I wonder 

If that smile is mine.

Being frightened of him,

I cried in your arms,

But

Nevermore I realized it was you.

Your flame was keeping me warm, 

Yet I did not notice,

My burns were from your fire.

You were trying to heal my wounds, 

Despite those scars, I took from you,

You were the problem we were solving,

For all that

Neither I knew I let you be it,

Little did I know you would stab me,

But little did you know I would let you twist that knife.

“An Incident” - By M.Sanjana of MZC II Year

She was the charm of her life,

She was the angel of her words,

She was the one lost in her thoughts.

She was a daughter, she was a sister,

She was a friend, she was a teacher,

She was a girl, she was a lover.

And a single incident took away, 

What she was, until then.

With him, she felt complete,

His presence gave her delight,

Love for her in his eyes,

Gave her a reason to smile.

In his arms, she found her peace,

And in his love, she found her universe. 

She annoyed him then and now,

Which turned to be the cause of his liveliness.

Though their worlds are now segregated,

Their souls are eternally connected. 

She knows he is always around,

Not in person, but in her heart.

She was the calmness of his anger,

And the reason for his bright smile. 

Today she faces the world with a smile, 

Because her soul knows, he is alive in her.
