Priyana Jain, Class 10, Smt. Sulochanadevi Singhania School, Thane
O Lord, you know I’m tired O Lord, you know I’m tired I’m tired of all the sleepless nights The dark circles under my eyes, the eternal pit of emptiness
O Lord, you know I’m trying O Lord, you know I’m trying I’m trying to call out for help The clamour inside my head overwhelming my cries of protest A prisoner to my mind
O Lord, you know I’m going to fall O Lord, you know I’m going to fall Fall into an abyss of tension, of expectations Fall into a restless slumber Jostled awake, pushed into tedium
O Lord, you know I’m recovering O Lord, you know I’m recovering Recovering from the bruises of anxiety Recovering from the scars of apprehension I’m sure this world is done with me O Lord, you know it’s an accordance with reality.
