Apala Dasgupta

A coward who hates being afraid, 

A fighter who fights for freedom-

A captive who yearns nothing but to be free, 

Yet, 

unknowing...of what to do, where to go... 

How to live shackle free...for she never knew... 

An adventurer scared of the unknown-

A frail thing, yet strangely courageous;

Scared of the dark... but unable to hold back-

To see, to feel, to live, in the unknown... 

This, is me-

This, is who I am... 

This, is how I am-

This, is what makes me-ME !
