The Uncharted Mind: The Dare


"The Dare" – a poem by Shon Mehta There was a girl named Claire.  For her, life was lonely, it was so unfair.  She longed for happiness, but found it nowhere.  And felt that when she is gone, no one will care.    Then, one day, she decided, and took the dare.    Years gone by, her family still lives their nightmare.  Her mother's eyes, they are never without a tear.  Cause, death without grief is rather rare.  Someone, somewhere will always care.

The Dare

There was a girl named Claire.
For her, life was lonely, it was so unfair.
She longed for happiness, but found it nowhere.
And felt that when she is gone, no one will care.

Then, one day, she decided, and took the dare.

Years gone by, her family still lives their nightmare.
Her mother's eyes, they are never without a tear.
Cause, death without grief is rather rare.
Someone, somewhere will always care.
