Apala Chaudhary, Poetry 2020 Longlist

Conversation With The Dew Drops

“So if I never ask, the answer will be no?"

“Undoubtedly.”

“And if I ask? Will everyone help out?”
“No.”
“Then what’s the point of opening up?”
“The right ones will catch you.”
“Meaning my family and friends?”
“Partially. I mean anyone who understands you without
judgement, who is ready to listen and bring change.
A positive one. Anyone”.
“I don’t feel like opening up”
“You shouldn’t always be doing things you like.
There’s a distinction between what you like and
what’s right for you. Know that.”
“So opening up will help?”
“Undoubtedly”
“And if I ask, answer will be yes?”
“Always.”
