Muse

I find my muse in darkness that is quiet I find my muse in the moon shining bright Unlike the ones who find it in people I find mine in a lonely night.

With everything ice cold, yet very bright I find my muse within my dark and empty sight. Far away from the world’s chaos and fight I find my muse in my empty heart’s shallow light.

Left alone is different from wanting to be alone

The dark sky is the ultimate abode to my intended lonely flight

~Saliha Abdullah, Class XI

Life is a book with many twists and turns, A journey filled with ups and downs, With chapters that make us learn and grow, And help us find the way to go. It starts with innocence, a blank first page, With endless possibilities and a future unshaped, We write our own story as we move along, And add memories that make us strong. The ups are filled with laughter and delight, With moments that make everything seem bright, The downs are tough, but we carry on, And find the courage to keep going strong.

And as we reach each new chapter in our life, We learn from the past and welcome the strife, We grow and we change, with each page we turn, And with each experience, our book begins to burn. So cherish each moment, with joy or with pain, For life is a book, with memories to gain, And as we turn the page to the final chapter, We’ll look back on our journey, with pride and laughter.
