Trust Belief is another name for trust, Which is from someone’s core to crust, And will never rust, And life considers it a must, To have trust on the creed- Else suspicion will breed- That everyone is bad and has greed- And never getting it freed. - Ananya Mallik

A Faraway Dream In a dream, I see things as sweet as ice cream, For I sit in a park, Staring at a lark, Singing beautiful notes, That act as antidotes; Calming the tension, And creating memories which are like pension to, To this stress filled mind, Trying to find, A special balm; Which helps seek the lost calm, Oh boy! But it was just a dream, As sweet and cold as ice cream, For in this world which seeks money, Won’t this dream be loony?                                                     - Ananya Mallik

Life I like the water sprinkle, I like the stars when they twinkle, I like the merry bells jingle, For their sights bring a smile On faces of sad Or enlighten the bad mood. I like to smile like mad, For it stops others to brood. I wish I could, Stop all the bad. And see others smile in delight, Even in the darkness of twilight; For it acts as light; And makes the mood bright. I wish I could erase sadness, And fill the gap with tons of happiness, But this is life, Who loves to give you lemons, So cut it with a knife, And squeeze it on demons!!! I like it when winter ends, And gives spring a cue, To have sadness bend, To give rise to happiness. Life is all about ups and downs - And to travel throughout the towns, To save people from frown - And make the people laugh at the cost of being a clown. - Ananya Mallik

His Advice My mentor said, “I wish peace, And love could be taken on lease! I would love to have some As the money hunt has become troublesome. “Life is very funny, As it gives you a choice ,it gave me a choice, To choose between riches and money, Or a life were I can raise my voice over the noise. “But out of greed I chose the first And now rest to the brain has become a must, And my life is slipping like grains of sand Everything now is out of my hand. “I wish I knew what was at stake.” He said as I listened, “But you my child never make this mistake.” He said as a tear glistened.   -Ananya Mallik
