The Raw me - As mystery unfolds

In a land so far from home, where the seas whisper low,   A little girl wandered, lost in a world she didn’t know.   The colors were strange, the faces all new,   Her heart ached for the place where the skies were her hue. She remembered the fields where she used to play,   The lullabies sung at the end of the day.   But now in Kanyakumari, with fear in her chest,   She searched for a smile, for a place to rest. Auto drivers saw her, their eyes filled with care,   A child out of place, with a lost, lonely stare.   The word spread like fire, through the towns and the streets,   Until the news reached the ears that so longed for this beat. On the second day, a miracle so sweet,   Her parents appeared, their hearts skipping a beat.   Tears flowed like rivers, washing away the fear,   As they held her close, whispering, “We’re here, we’re here.” She buried her face in the warmth of their arms,   Safe from the world and all of its harms.   The storm in her heart began to subside,   As she f

In the stillness of the night, when shadows softly creep,   A fear takes hold within me, pulling me from sleep.   Daddy’s breath was heavy, his heart caught in its strife,   And in that fleeting moment, I feared for his life. I am their only daughter, no sister, no brother near,   And in that fragile silence, my heart trembled with fear.   What if the world took them, left me on my own?   In the vastness of this life, how would I be grown? I imagine days without them, a life too hard to bear,   Without their loving voices, without their tender care.   Mom’s gentle words, Dad’s strong embrace,   A world without them feels like an empty place. I close my eyes and wish so deep, from the core of my soul,   That they live far longer than me, that they never grow old.   For I’d rather walk alone into the unknown,   Than face this world without them, my heart, my home. So stay with me, I pray each night, in health and in peace,   Let this love we share never, ever cease.   For as long as they

In the quiet of the night, where shadows softly fall,   I sit alone, where once there were voices, now just a hollow call.   The earth took more than ground beneath, it tore apart my heart,   In the landslide’s cruel embrace, my world was torn apart. Mama’s laughter, soft and warm, now echoes in the past,   Papa’s gentle, steady hands, I felt their touch last.   My sister’s smile, a guiding light, now lost beneath the clay,   In one swift, merciless moment, they were all swept away. I search the skies for answers, but the stars give no reply,   Just silent, distant twinkling in a cold, unfeeling sky.   The mountains stand like sentinels, indifferent to my pain,   They hold my dearest in their grasp, under the fallen rain. I cry out to the heavens, but my voice is lost in wind,   No arms to hold me close, no solace can I find.   The world is full of strangers now, in a home I don’t belong,   Each day a painful echo, of a life that’s come undone. But somewhere deep within, a seed of stre
