A Blank Canvas

By Tina Aswani, Bhavisha Punjabi

Its loud,

Its chaotic,

It’s demeaning,

All in the name of having fun,

Insecurities struck with an intended pun!

Judgments are adored,

And your worth questioned,

For simply failing to fit in,

In the world we chose to shun!

The world that fails to respect our boundaries,

The world that fails to empathize our personalities,

The world that fails to give us a chance,

The world that fails to simply let us be one!

Unclear are these rules of existence,

And so is the source for this persistence,

Why is loud deemed strong and silence weak,

Maturity is irrelevant to ages peak!

Meet me in my space for once,

With a blank canvas,

For let me guide you through life,

The one I live, 

Against all misconceptions, 

Slightly inclined towards introspection, 

But never deception!
