New girl in the college

Standing on a path in between two roads

One led to past, another to future

Past were the days of careless life

Following will be the days to survive.

Packed bags full of goods,

Dad’s aspirations, Mom’s blessings

A new world was waiting for me,

A world of evil and good things

Stepping into hostel, I realized

This was so different altogether

Chatting of girls all over place

Midnight silence was lost forever.

Then came the turn of unshielded world,

Where every eye judged your being

You were a girl, you were expected to act

Roaming carefree was no more a thing.

I wanted to live, I wanted to breathe

I wanted to run back to home

I wanted to go away from all this

I wanted to be at peace and alone.

But running away was not an option

I had to stay, I had to fight

I had to prove myself at every point

I had to make my future bright.

So I did stay, I did fight

I replied back the criticising sphere

Yes I’m a girl, and I’m proud of it

Nothing can bring me down here.!
