Finding My Voice

By Neeta Agarwal Doshi

Poetry is a painting with words and rhymes,
Where different strokes create different chimes.
When you hold this book in your hands,
I am grateful as my universe expands.
Through these rhymes and words,
I offer you a peek into my world.
My personal narratives will tell my story,
My philosophy will reflect in my poetry.
There is no wrong or right, good, or bad,
Different viewpoints make us happy or sad.
I’m hoping to awaken your conscience,
Use your own outlooks to interpret the essence.
I hope my perspectives interest you and strike a chord,
Your sincere appreciation and affection are my true reward.

THIS IS ME

I cannot follow,

Nor do I like to lead,

I do not like the company of people who gossip,

But I love to be in the company of books,

I like to be self-reliant and independent,

I do not like to be imposing,

I do not believe in religions,

I do believe in kindness and humanity,

I do not follow trends,

I follow my own instincts,

I do not believe in superstition,

In everything I try to find a reason,

I do not believe in visiting temples,

I believe in faith and keeping it simple.

I do not believe that clothes define your character,

I love wearing sarees but also shorts,

I can cook, clean, and also follow sports.

I can be talkative with people I like,

Or be quiet when thoughts aren't alike,

I say the truth more often rather than take a false stand,

I rely on my capabilities and my talent to
