Winners and Survivors

Just because I don't explain doesn't mean
I'm lying
I'm plainly hiding
the truth there's more
to me than a teen.
There are things I'd
prefer to keep
with me not because
I want to hide
From you but because
I am stronger than IT
and can live without
IT bothering any of us
IT doesn't matter
To me but if you know
I'm sure treated
Like a damsel
in distress and IT will
have won in bringing
me sympathy and pity
Things I abhor
I know you care but
Let things be this way
Unknown to all of you
I'm neither as weak as you think nor stupidly
Vain as IT thinks
I know the war
Will be won
Like this just remember
I'm a winner
Not a survivor and let no
One else say otherwise.

Abhignya Chalamcharla is the regular engineering student you come across almost daily in your life. She has an interest in writing, poetry, singing and finding herself lost in surroundings. A engineering grad by the day and a singing writer by dusk and having a psychologist, teacher mom & electrical based dad pretty much sums up her general knowledge in everything.
