You

By Aleesha Sapra

How about you dream when,

the world sleeps and you lie awake?

How about you smile when,

every bone inside you starts to ache.

If it pains you now,

let the light within guide you.

If it breaks you now,

remember it rains before the rainbow hue.

The journey within

is what matters all along.

The fight within

is what makes you strong.

After all, didn’t you choose the womb to bloom?

And wouldn’t you carve the path to your doom?
