I Confess !!

Some set records, some got rewards
between loud sounds of cheers
I was last row spectator;
I confess!!

Proud smiles of winning faces,

Low sighs to keep one human

Aloof from everything;

I had a sighing smile

I confess!!!

Mountains have raised brows

Clouds are conspiring to burst

Will the winds like my little wings??

I am scared;

I confess!!

Mail-box is full of friendly texts

& Care waits for me at home

Still solitude is my akin

I confess!!

Yester striven the tussle

Tomorrow is sure of resurgence

Neither a “Princess” nor a “Queen”

I am what I am

I confess...
