Dia Chatterjee - Untitled

I was told
That I wear
The stars in my eyes
And the hope upon my lips
A little too conspicuously-
The courage breathing in my tiny fists
And the faith springing in my strides
Make too loud a noise for most to bear-

I shrug my shoulders
For there’s no other way of existence known to me.
