The Vow

I am life but i am death

I am truth but i am myth 

I am seen but i am invisible 

I am beaten but i am invincible 

I am drenched but i am dry

I gave up but i did try

I lose and i win 

I burn but i have flawless skin 

I fell when i rose up high

I reached out below the sky

I am you and i am i

You are me i wonder why

Under the blankets my realm benights

But inside my chest my heart ignites 

I drown but i don't sink

I come up with froth near the brink

Unleash my wrath on the sand

Slither in pain crushed under your hand

I cry but you can't hear

Crying with anguish I can't bear 

We were two now we are one

You are gone once you are done

I still lay i fathom how

It was your job 

But it was my vow. 

My Mother- First prize in interclass poetry competition 8th Grade

                       
We wake up in the morning,Seeing her face.She wishes us good morning,Full of grace.She speaks to us in her lovely voiceAnd asks father to bring us toys.She makes the dishes we like to eatSometime she scolds us but never beats.She supports us, when we are right.During trouble she holds us tight.I never want to go, far away from her.Because, She is my one and only Mother.
