I walk through the same corridors

Posted on by Reena Saxena

I walk through the same corridors again
hearing sounds of cackling, raucous laughter
in pure defiance – who cares what they say?

labels are giddy-headed, immature
an exciting life ahead to be lived
dreams are a birthright, whatever you say

I walk through the same corridors again
recalling encouragement, ridicule
dreams embalmed in concrete – to live again

I think of how our teachers saw us then
Today, I struggle to find a reason
to indulge in cackling, raucous laughter

I walk through the same corridors again
count each step, re-examine the mindset
It tells me what life is all about – Dreams
