The K.I.D.S. July 2021 MY POEM “Within Me” I thought that no one wants to hear me out, no one wants to hear the words that came out of my mouth. They don’t want to share their secrets with me nor give an apology, but then I thought i don’t need anyone's apology. Cause my map is mine and their map is theirs, I can enjoy my alone time and eat cookies out of jars. I know they wear fake smiles to seem happy, but deep down their hearts are sad and shabby. So keep yourself company and smile Cause alone with your pure heart you can travel a thousand mile. By Amoli Patel Knowledge Seekers, 10th Std “Just Don’t Change” “Your map, your thinking is just yours, And theirs is their…. They ignored me from the start, Don’t argue much.” They said I couldn’t hang out with them, I realized that that at the end of the day, Because I wasn’t “cool enough”. My map will always and forever be my map, I changed myself for them, And their map will forever and a day, Yet they would make atrocious rumors, Will always remain theirs… About me… And I won’t be able to change it… I cried about it, When the fake bright lights of this mean world, By Shikha Shah Knowledge Seekers Would turn off… 9thstd Until someone great told me, That my Map Is My Map, And their map is their… They told me not to change, The map of mine and remember to be myself, And possibly ignore the world’s comments. I couldn’t thank that one blessing, Who told me,
