In my Twenties

Twenties a decade filled with failure achievements evolving personalities disguised as an extrovert ready to take over the world but she slid in her bed and draped the blanket over her head and let her sleep take over the very night. The contradicting emotions that never settle into one and her imposter syndrome taking over her life- Twenties can be harsh and cruel especially in a deep patriarchal society where her voice is loud but she becomes the object of their banters. When the world turns into a black hole and sucks the light out of her she is left with her dimmed soul a reminder of who she was. How can her frailties be her strength? The darkness that seeped into her mind now resides within her. But the pages turn because she heals. Yes she heals within darkness. Barlina she is a fourth year medical student from Assam Northeast India. In this tiresome journey she never ceased thriving for literature and art. She has grown up watching Dead Poets Society and her heart kept seeking for meaning for she remembered every scene. She has written poems at night but only from the memories of the day. Memories of pain resentment injustice couldn''t lead to answers hence she sufficed through her poems. She knew poems will give the answers. The answers which can never be found by calculating numbers or prescribing medicines.
