Memory Lane

by Aditijain aged 13

I knew we were done
Yes we had enough
You were on my path
I was on mine
Waiting for our paths to cross
Hoped to meet again
I saw our paths intersecting
But turned I knew
Yo would blame me
For all of our pain
You wouldn’t look into my eyes
See the fear of making new friends
You had pushed me away
Hoping that I would run after you
I had lost all my senses
And no one was there to pick me up
Forgetting this I ran back to you
Hopping that you would hug me
Talk to me and love me the same way
Unfortunately our friendship had changed
Everything had changed
I saw you laughing with someone else
The same way we used to
Memories trembled down my spine
And rolled through the cheeks
I stood there for hours motionless
Taking a journey through memory lane

An Angel

0
by Aditijain aged 13

She sat there in a lonely corner
trying not to cry with every breath
hiding her lonliness with that
plastered smile
She never thought her closeness would result in back stabbing
How gossiping about her would soon turn
into those dirty minded jokes
She was was used to it
Still she tried to make the sad souls
the most cheerful ones
because she knew how everyone
was up to make people sad
and she knew true essence of happiness
She never wanted to face the crowd again
because she lacked the courage
of picking back those shattered pieces
bringing them to life
She was forced to be so
just because the true destiny
of this cruel world was shown to her too early
that demons came angels
angels came with scars
She wanted to meet an angel
to look how they carried themselves everyday
as day converted into months
and months into years
she gradually became one
who carried herself with
so much of poise
She became angel

True Treasure

by Aditijain aged 13

We had a fight that day.
Yes, we had one
Maybe it was the alert alarm
of our beautiful friendship.
Even though of all the grudges
I still sneaked out of my bed
like any other normal day
ran to Thirteen Cross Lane
which was waiting
for those midnight gossip sessions
midnight laughter and snack parties
I was there waiting for you
gazing up at the sky
and realising how empty I was without you
just like the sky without
those twinkling stars
Suddenly I saw your red vintage car
how happy was I for that very second
thinking that I knew you inside out
but all my dreams shattered when
you didn’t reply to my usual statement
dropped our memory box out from the car
in the middle of the road
and drove away.
I was trying to reach you
Certainly it seemed like a
ray of hope in that dark hell
took that box which meant more
anything which was nine years old
and consisted everything of our friendship
that day
Sleep never came, memories never gone
I remembered each moment spent with you
and cried for the entire night
years after I still still know
we aren’t the same
I want to still cuddle you like a Teddy bear
I still want to spill my emotions without thinking
but now I say
I will always miss you!

Railway Station Incident

I am at the railway station.
I am travelling. I see the digital
Signs. The train will be here
Very soon. It should
Come and stop in a little while.
I open my bag to remove
My wallet keep it above
The telephone box.
My wallet contains coins.
I use a coin to call mother.
‘Hi Mother! I’m at the station.
The train will be arriving soon.’
I hang up.
The train arrives.
I hurry.
It stays only for a short while.
I don’t want to miss it.
I board the train.
It starts.
But then I look out
Of the window. I see my wallet
Sitting on the telephone box.
I forgot to take it
Before entering the train.
It had my train ticket.
Looks like I am going
To have a very tough time
Very, very soon.

The Serpent of Blackness

by Evie Harris aged 7

Oh baby, oh baby do fear,
the serpent of blackness is near
And as long as he may reign,
he’ll do it in power and vain.

But baby, but baby don’t cry,
don’t shed tears in front of my eye.
For the curse that holds him back,
is even more powerful and black,
and wicked and scary and tall,
than him, the greatest serpent of all!!

Summer Light

by Elsie aged 12

The sun shines on me in the summer light,
The warmth of his light calms me,
I see the bees buzzing about,
Collecting pollen as they go,
I see my sisters playing
As they run by,
I see a butterfly dancing,
So graceful as she flies,
The sun shines on me in the summer light.

Words

by Harshita Das aged 11

Words are like a sword
A tool in our hand
They can be used as a sharp dagger
To hurt anyone
And cause pain and harm or drama
Or like a healing medicine
To soothe anyone
To make them happy again
Words aren’t evil or good
That depends on the wielder

Spring has Sprung

by Elsie aged 12

The sun is shining down on me,
See the chicks hatch,
Hear the bleating of the lambs,
Flowers growing up,
Easter is coming,
Easter egg hunts,
Chocolate eggs are being made
For us to eat up!
Excitement is bubbling up inside,
Of each child,
Oh wait I forgot,
The bunnies are hopping a lot,
Spring!

Destiny

0
by Harshita Das aged 11

Some say destiny is a string
A straight path
That you have to blindly follow
That you have to trust

But I feel
Destiny is a crossroad
Filled with choices
Filled with twists and turns
It is a maze
In which we blindly grope around
Trusting God to guide us
But I feel
That we have to guide ourselves
That God wants us to be
Independent
He wants us to
Choose our own destiny
