About the Work

Yumna Desai's poem resonates with a reflective tone, encouraging the reader to embrace the act of writing as a form of emotional release.

Scribble, scribble and scribble!

Original Submission by Yumna Desai

Scribble, scribble and scribble.

Write away the joy, sadness, pain, happiness or just plain nonsense.

Make the pen like an arrow, its words hitting its target perfectly.

Scrap away the memories.

Scribble, scribble and scribble.

Pen down the joy, sadness, pain, happiness or just your thoughts.

I bet when you read it later, the pain will be lesser, the joke more laughable, and you’d realize that the situation wasn’t that serious.

You’d be like, ‘I think I over reacted!’

If not then scribble, scribble and scribble again.

Till your anger dies down.

Cos a day will come when you will look back and say proudly to yourself, I made it, I came to where I am now…then turn back, just once, bury the pages deep into the sand and never look back again. A new chapter has opened.
