You know that burning sensation you feel at the back of your throat at times when you are sad, happy or even when you've nothing to cry about, but you still can't cry.

The first poem from Riya’s quarantine series

one dark early nightI chose to bathe alone

There I was lying under the shade of the stars 

On the road were the moving cars 

It was a no moon day 

Darkness had spread all over the way

While I was gazing at the stars I saw something

It was different but I felt amazing 

Life lessons

What have I really learned We must practice Empathy

Appreciation

And compassion

That’s what life taught me But I knew that already

girls aren’t afraid of the dark,

they’re afraid of who’s in the dark.

they’re afraid of the strange space between themselves

and whatever is waiting for them, in shadows.
