I'm sorry if this story affected you for real. when I read the beggining i forgot all about the title and thought it might have a cheery ending but then you just sort of manouvered in this horrible happening and i think you did it so swiftly that it was amazing.

This is very sad......that this girl was this young and was so brutally stripped from all her dreams. We here in South Africa have a swimmer who have the same story...Natalie du Toit. She is now a Paralimpic Gold Medalist. Just goes to show.

Good poem. The short lines create a sense of foreboding, like dreaded footsteps drawing closer or a heart beating loudly in fear. In this case the reader is waiting in fear while the subject of the poem is oblivious to the approaching terror.

You've presented an accident of youth who had gorgeous dreams. But, unfortunatly all her dreams ended in smoke when she was thrown from a running train and lost her leg along with her documents. It is a very sad story. The same incident happened with a boy of my locality who was going to Bangalore to do B.pharma, but the cruel hands and the fate didn't let him fulfill his dream and he was thrown from the train. Now, he is physically good but his mental power has gone so he just wander only. Perhaps he couldn't tolerate it.

Touching, very touching. the first lines makes one feel the high level of energy and then comes the tragedy. It makes me wonder about the why of it. Tragedies do happen more often than we would like to see. The best answer about the why of tragedies, I was reading in a book by R. Sharma. He wrote about a teacher in a small school in a poor village. One day the school burned out. A tragedy. But the teacher took the event to raise money for a new and better school. It a simple example, perhaps too simple for what happened in the poem, but sometimes tragedies bring different opportunities/blessings. I am not so sure. What I write here may be a severe oversimplification. Your poem really got me thinking and I like very much poems that do that. Many thanks, I think it is a very good poem.
