Just a Flutter

by Harshita Das aged 11

The day was dark
Nothing could we find
We forget what it was like
Not to feel pain
And sadness
Blinded by darkness
Stumbling to nowhere
The weight of a heavy heart
Slowing us down
Each breath, like breathing shattered glass

And yet,
Despite all this,
A small butterfly
Just a flutter of hope
Burning like fuel
Kept us going
For while everything else has abandoned us
Nobody can let go
Of that little flutter of hope
