"THE SOUND OF SILENCE”

For me the sound of silence is very unsettling yet calming. It's a
feeling that is hard to understand. It is calm and peaceful but at the
same moment it's lonely.

It gives you peace but it also gives you a reality check that you will
be always alone.
There will be a lot of people who will come in your life. Some will go
and some will stay. But are they the one whom you trust. Do they
make you feel lonely? Like they make you realize that no one will
love you?
That is what silence is. Although it is calm, it puts a person so much
deeper in their thoughts that sometimes they start questioning
every little thing. Is what they are doing correct? Are the people who are around you trustworthy? Do
they love you for who you are or they just like the idea of who might be in the future? Do they support
you? Are they happy when you succeed in life? Are they comfortable enough to show how they truly
are?
These thoughts are both important as well as dangerous. So in a persons life silence is important but
don't make it a reason for you to become unapproachable and don't let the people around you start
hating you.

Yuvika Vikash Agarwal (S.Y.J.C )

ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?

Once, your eyes would shine so bright,
Chasing dreams from day to night.
The world was big, so much to see,
A heart so wild, so young, so free.

You ran with fire, laughed out loud, Danced like wind, stood strong and proud.

Now, your steps feel slow and small, Do you still hear adventure call?

You saw a friend before a name, Before the world taught rules and blame.
You loved so deep, you cared so true, Is that same heart still inside you?

Look around the sky's still wide, The waves still crash, the stars still shine.

Life still waits with open hands, So take a step—and live again
