Angel Nobby, Class 10, Prime Academy School, Mumbai
There was silence at that moment,
My heart stopped with its restlessness.
It was warm,
The quite held my peace
In my mind it was a puzzle
Each part had its own companion.
Some of them come with happiness and stay,
Whilst the others give you lessons and go for good.
If I were to die one day,
I hope they see my good parts.
My bad was my testament to God,
To prove to him that I too am strong.
I’d like that moment of quiet,
Where it’s just me, my heart and mind.
Not a conflict, not any terror
Just a smile which should never wither.
