STRUGGLE

By Greeshma Jagan

You be there,

Its through the fire you walk

You carry your heart in your hand,

Lashes have stricken you so hard

Were wolves chase you vigorously,

Wide river parts us,

I can see all these as shadows

And yes, I have no wings

I don’t have that strength

To fight the devils for you

Still, I stand watching you

And make you feel even worse

Then I can see you slowing down,

But don’t stop

Be there, struggle

And when it ends,

Let your scars symbolize your victory

And yes, my tears will reach you

Through river waters

And make you feel your

Fight was worth and so are you.
