Words Commit Suicide

 Words were her power
Words are taken away from her
Replaced by a mathematical score
Of the competitive exam
Her parents are elated to know
Machines are waiting for their daughter
They book tickets to meet her
It’s time for little celebration
Two years she has lived a life of nun
In the age of making mistakes
They had warned her about making mistakes
Except this one,
The one she made,
The one they will read
In the newspaper
Next day on the train
“I wished to be a poet-
She writes in her suicide note.”
