A star in the sky,
looking like a dot from our home,
a calm child in appearance,
but burns like a notorious toddler up close,
burning like fire,
yet despite this,
there is silence that lies between them,
that silence is what they show,
that sound is impossible in space,
the lonely stars as toddlers hence burn in anger for their mother god to break the silence,
She grants them the elephant’s foot,
A gift to stir the silence into waves.
[Reader's note: The elephant’s foot represents the source of vibration used for communication between elephants, linking it to wave transmission that astronomers convert into sound, in which this transmission is used as a source of communication through stars according to this poem]

About myself!!!
Hello!!! As you might know, my name is Akshara Raj. I'm an ordinary girl with big dreams to chase. Now, I don't need to rush things. So, let me start from the beginning. I'm Indian by ethnicity and American by citizenship. I've lived in the U.S. for almost 2-3 years and have been in India till now. I'm an 80% extrovert. An introvert when angry and sad. I therefore have a lot of friends. My dad is a businessman who wants me to experience the real world at a young age. My mom is a biomedical engineer helping my dad in his business. I was born on 4th March, 2013, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, U.S. I also have a younger sister who is 4 years younger than me born in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. I adore the subjects Science, English and Math in school. I love expressing my creativity through writing and speaking. My life was and is always filled with true and fake friendships, adventures, happiness, sadness and drama. I also love losing myself in the thinking of philosophy, existence, and the meaning of life. I first started writing poems when I was upset, angry, etc. It was about my feelings. I later started writing about philosophy, the meaning of life, and many more. Now, I want to publish my poems, so that is the sole reason for me to be here writing about myself right now to you guys. Last but not least, you can try reading my poems and get lost in their meaning of my poems. Happy Reading!!!

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
