Unfulfilled dream: A poem by Indrani Chowdhury

Fate did brandish its sword,

For a long time, to intimidate me,

Sabotaging my numerous noble efforts,

To realize my unfulfilled dream,

To break free.

I was pushed, I was shoved,

And countless catastrophes,

Attempted to crush,

My rebellious being.

But then fate gave in,

When it tasted my resilience.

And even showered me,

With a thoughtful parting gift.

And that was,

To had the strength and spirit,

To break free,

Thus fulfilling,

My long unfulfilled dream.
