Metaphors

1. Indecision is a long, crooked road headed nowhere.

2. The skyline was the dark red that spills from an open wound.

3. Trendsetters are lion heads while followers are the tails that trail behind.

4. The moonlight is a spear that pierces through even a barricaded window.

5. The anonymity of his neighbor is a hidden, ticking time-bomb.

Fairytale (Attempt at Poetry #2)

On the balcony of my fairytale castle,
I’m waiting for my prince charming to arrive.
The wind is rushing through my hair,
Bringing all my senses alive.
I frantically search for his distinct shadow,
As I look into the distance,
I check my watch a thousand times,
Ignorant to my own persistence.
Finally, I hear the horses trot
As they gallop in my direction,
Never have I felt such a giant knot -
But I know this feeling’s perfection.
He sweeps me off my glass-slippered feet,
Looks into my eyes transparent,
And without whispering a single word,
His love is most apparent.

Take A Stand (My Attempt at Poetry)

So here is a poem I wrote over the summer. Well, I am not quite sure yet if it is fit to be called a poem... but I'm curious to see what people think!

Take a Stand.

Aniya Chowdhury

“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”,

As Gandhi had once said,

When you’re fighting a world so unkind,

That your heart can’t stand your head.

A side is either right or wrong,

War can stand no compromise,

Neglecting attempts to get along,

Broken bones come to no surprise.

Guns today become bombs tomorrow,

Families break apart and cry,

Loved ones experience fatal sorrow,

Before their own time to die.

Why is everything so black or white

When color is so at hand

Would it not be such a sight

If together we take a stand?

Then there are those who live on the streets;

So thankful for every meal,

While others are raised among elites;

Living in lavishes so unreal.

There is enough food to consume the earth,

Yet poverty makes up majority.

Understanding true human worth,

Has yet to take priority.

With such financial diversity,

That outranges even race,

Education from a university,

Is a privilege out of place.

Why is everything so black or white

When color is so at hand

Would it not be such a sight

If together we take a stand?

Then of all the things that have faced death,

Racism has yet to die,

Why is it that blacks hold their breath,

While whites can touch the sky?

If God created all men the same,

Then skin color can’t be the judge-

None should hang their head in shame,

And none should hold a grudge.

In the words of Jr. MLK,

Let the freedom ring,

Blend all the colors into a ray

That only rain and sun can bring.

Why is everything so black or white

When color is so at hand

Would it not be such a sight

If together we take a stand?

Whether it be freedom from war,

Or the ability to eat till hearts content,

The hopes to dream for evermore,

Or the resources to pay rent-

Whether it be having the heart to share,

Or the compassion to give to charity,

Love’s bravery to dare,

Or seeing with newfound clarity.

Why can we not see the day,

When an enemy can turn friend?

When old debts can be repaid,

When on each other we can depend?

Why is everything so black or white

When color is so at hand

Would it not be such a sight

If together we take a stand?

First Day as a Blogger

Hello world.
I am currently sitting in the school library, trying to finish my homework for tomorrow. I understand that I'm in college already, but is it really necessary to assign so much work on the first week of school? Already I am drowning in unlimited assignments, papers, projects, quizzes, etc. Wouldn't it make more sense to ease our way into our work so that we are better able to handle forthcoming pressures, organize our schedules, and resist the temptation to drop out of school? Then again, college is just a preview to the "real world", where nothing will come at our leisure. Rather, everything will pile up on us when we least expect it, whether it is a mixture of good things, bad things, or unimportant things. So... I guess I should just suck it up and deal with whatever situation I find myself in. As that famous quote states, "you can't choose what cards you are dealt, only how to play the hand." 
Advice for the day: Be prepared for anything at anytime.
Hello world.
I am ready.
