Sweta Mahar Poet Free verse

Today I Am

*Today I am, 
 The one I never wished, 
 the one I never treasured, 
 the territories I never chose to dwell in. 

Today I am—nothing much but a selfish one, 
 Who never thinks of anything that could hurt, 
 and protects my soul with unwavering guts. 

Today I am, 
 Shaped by endless wars, 
 yet still walking on my path, 
 With no regrets, 
 But unforgettable scars. 

I never regret who I am, 
 But sometimes the laughter of the past echoes in my mind— 
 Endless chats, never-ending jokes, 
 Admiring the moon, hugging blankets, 
 Revealing secrets in the quiet night. **
