By Ananya Sarkar
SORROW AS A BLANKET
Sorrow is a blanket
That sits in my closet in the dark
On some nights
I pull it out
And wrap myself in its folds
Outside, the stars twinkle in my eyes
Blinking pain and hope
I blink back the tears
And snuggle tighter
But with time
The blanket has begun to fray
And as I lay
The weight became just a bit lighter.
