This feeling of shame,
Of feeling exposed and blamed,
It haunts me, day and night,
I no more know what’s wrong or right.
I did it out of confidence,
But they compared it to a reference,
Saying, “This pictures you in this way,
So fix this, ’cause you have no other way.”
My feelings are not considered,
I feel my freedom of expression hindered.
They are making me paint myself differently,
Did I give them power over me indefinitely?
We are in the modern world,
Empowering ourselves to be bold.
And there is a way to communicate,
Dragging someone down has never proved effective to date.
Be intentional in making people feel loved,
Even if you think their ways are flawed.
Because you love them for who they are,
Your ridicule of them should not cause a scar.
They say time will heal anything,
I say a loved one’s words are what truly bring
The feeling of acceptance and comfort,
And the knowledge that you will never judge them, no matter what.
Maeve was drunk all the time.
Tonight, was not an exception.

India is a country that is home to 1.3 billion people, where 50% population is below the age of 25. The young population is always considered an asset to the nation's development. If a nation aspires to be a global superpower, its youth must strive hard to develop the country socially, economically, and politically.
It was at the end of the storm,
When the night began to take form,
That the clouds cleared up,
And the stars showed up.
When the rain descended,
And the rainbow came and ended...
