Just Me - Kalima Iqbal
Just Me is a poem written by Kalima Iqbal - a Grade 9th student from Delhi Public School Srinagar.
Is it just me or these chains of expectationsThat stops me from running in a meadowThat stops me from fleeing out off that taunting windowThat stops me from coloring all those whites into bluesThat stops me from counting all those twinkling, silver huesIs it just me or these burning charcoal eyesWhich keeps me from tearing down appearancesWhich makes me suppress the darkest of thoughtsWhich makes my heart poundIs it just me or the heights I seeFalling in the chasm of my shattered ambitionsShattering all those aspirationsMaking me a hoax for them to laugh and seeAs they live my life better than me.
