Worth a World | Troy Cabida

You wear skin once soft,
now steel shining, adorned in scars
that tell a story you don’t need to explain.
In whispers
they’ll talk about how much you’ve grown,
how many battles you’ve dived into and won,
how high you’re flying,
soaring from all the obscurity,
because now
every piece of earth you step on
can become yours, so choose to be luminous,
you’re worth the world.
Now you can sleep, feed, give yourself
peace, all the time to heal
and hear yourself again.
Hold on tight, embrace yourself because
you’re worth the whole world.

My Little Little Nose | Ananya S. Guha

I have begun,
advent into journey
now my life’s tourney,
a game, why blame
people and friends
rascals, fiends
the journey began
precisely at home,
took time off and read tomes, then took to writing
up and down
in my little shanty town
and, as rains kept on pouring I took to life
in its whirlpool of suffering
amidst all the rife.
All the broken bones I saw
while some laughed ha-ha. This is poetry, that is prose, I
exclaimed, under, my little little
nose.
