You Want to Know Who I Am

By Ridhima Bhagawati

My favorite words are wistful and love

So I know I was made 

to have my heart broken.


My favorite sound is of the violin’s undertones

So I know I am

a poem unspoken.


You'll find me in every “sorry”

you have, in your life, ever heard.

For it seems like ""Sorry for being awful""

are becoming my second-favorite words.


But if you grab a chart paper,

and cut up some words to make a collage,

you'll find me somewhere in the mess of syllables,

playing semantic espionage.


Now tell me, where can I find you?
