Waiting for the train submissively

I looked around the vibrant world curiously

The platform drowning in the sea of people

Each one of them invincible

A man hustles to the extreme

To secure his dream

Inside their souls, beneath their profile

We meet their impregnable side.

Burdened by their hectic schedule

Yet never forget about the sparkle

Broken made beautiful

Despite its distasteful

A spirit-filled with cheer

Without any fear

Their infinite power never fails

Always prepared to sail

In the end, there is that perfect joy and charm

Their loved ones waiting with an open arm

I asked myself, would it have been worthwhile

To peruse this lifestyle?

About The Poet

Yokabet Fikadu is  sixteen years old and currently attending Pristine Private School.

She would like to be a realtor in future because architecture fascinates me. She is  exceptionally fond of the Victorian style of writing. feels that kind of writing exciting as it bridges the gap between the romantic age and modern literature.  Rudyard Kipling’s poems have always enthralled her , ever since she have received a compilation of her work as a child. Her writing captures my imagination and she finds himself transported into another world filled with adventurous experiences.

She  aspires to delve into literature of other periods in history, to enrich her own writing and perhaps, compile her own compositions in future.
