Not Playing Small

I have been told, I often write sad and depressing poems and maybe a little complicated poems that are difficult to understand and grasp. So, here is a fun little poem that I wrote while in a preppy mood.

Esperando Que Les Guste..



I am tired of playing small.

I would rather have a ball

Stretch my wings and fly

No longer want to crawl and cry


Maybe have a little chat

On a talk show with Chris Pratt

Or maybe go on a tour 

With likes of Mandy Moore


Well there is so much to do

Could star in a movie too

Shoutout to Sam Raimi and Jon Favreau

Can I be part of Spider-Man and woo you two


Lend my voice to a Disney character

Or get roasted by Simon Cowell on X-Factor

Create my own little Jannat

Be a party guest at Mannat


I am cool with making memories

Hang out with family and friends wearing fun accessories

Added the lines to sound well-rounded

Otherwise may get hounded


Have all my dreams come alive

And let myself thrive

So let me heal and heal tonight

Climb and fall but still reach new heights


I would rather take hundreds of falls

But no longer playing it small

Amazon Worker

Hey there Amazon Worker, Do you think you pulled one over? Mocked my vulnerable side, only to protect your fake pride. I can’t fathom why I ever asked you to pamper and protect. Your wealth was never my concern, yet you watched my trust burn. As I began to share how I felt, you made a snide remark, hitting below the belt. Do you think I care if people change the way they stare? I’m no longer trying to hide; the girl you knew has long died. It’s amusing now that you said I remind you of your mother— What kind of devil hurts the daughter of another? Everyone says to forgive and forget since you were only a child. I would if you didn’t parade your weak masculinity, born of Rothschild. Your false grandeur can’t erase the damage done, I’ve found my strength and my journey’s just begun. If you thought you were good for my image, Know this: my growth surpasses your limits. I’m a woman whose name you can’t tear from the page, And I will stand tall, owning my own stage. ~ Kanika Kau...

Not So Bhavya

Oh, drop the good guy act, You pretended to care, that's a fact. Someone who was hiding their own shame, Called me psycho and crazy, how lame. You tried to charm me with your coffer, Brushed off my pain, saying, “Stop it, or else I won’t buy a lightsaber.” You took all you could and then asked what I have to offer? Funny how you wanted to burn it all down when you lost your maker, But when I cried and screamed, called me a big faker. You claimed to know love, but never took the time, To understand my heart, my rhythm, my rhyme. You wrapped me in darkness while claiming the light, But all you offered was a hollow delight. Now your shadows fade, and I choose to ignite, I’ll weave my own stories, reclaiming my flight.
