This poem was composed jointly by my mother and me. Today, my brain could not conceive any idea about what my poem would be about. I could say that my mind was blank. She helped me to organize my thoughts and frame this poem. However, the drawing is my own creation. We hope you enjoy this read!

As I sat down to pen my thoughts,

My mind went completely blank.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t write,

As if my brain was playing on me a prank.

A few pages I wrote and then I tore some,

One by one, and then there were left none.

I stared at the white wall and the words faded,

Never did I feel so miserable and unaided.

It was not my day, so I tried a different route,

Just randomly I would write and keep writing through.

Suddenly the thoughts carved their way, and my mind did reboot,

What seemed impossible before, now I could pursue.

Rain or shine, write you must,

And the words will flow, that you should trust.

All you need to do is to believe,

Eventually, it will become a ‘masterpiece’.
