Favorite Quote:
"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise" - Victor Hugo


I am like a dove soaring high and free,
But then I am like a tiger,

Ready, to pounce on anyone who annoys me


Who am I then

A tiger, a dove, both


I am me

Strong, free, adventurous

Compassionate, quick-witted, observant

Or maybe I’m

Versatile, trustworthy, and ambitious


What I am and What I can do

Is what makes me, me

If I compare myself

I am not me anymore

I am self-conscious


When I am, me I make my own decisions

I learn to trust and be myself

Without that, I can’t be me

I can’t be the person I am meant to be

I can’t learn how to live

Without someone changing what I do

That's why I am me

Born in Oklahoma city, Vaishnavi (born 2004-present). She started writing poetry in 9th grade. For her, poetry lets her speak her feelings without letting on so much that it might ruin something. Her poetry is representing her dysfunctional family and how she struggles with that and how she sometimes deals with that.
