DIVERGENCE
Gehna Gautam
3rd year, CSE

I sat down in my engineering physics class separation anxiety.

and there I saw a word I've let people enter into my haven,
written on the blackboard And with all the pretty memories,
a funny looking triangle with and laughs, and love-me's,
a dot next to it those people turned
divergence. a haven into a heaven,
in vector calculus and not wanting the evening to end,
it gives cause you know when,
magnitude instead of direction You're having fun, time flies,
of a field, But I want them to stay, just a little longer,
but since I was a child I was taught hold my hand, laugh a little
That it was a difference in opinion, And maybe just smile.
a path off- road, I want the evening to last longer,

The road not taken, that hold you have on my hand,
I was taught you make me feel stronger.
that it was separation. and everytime I see you get up,
hearts are bound by heartstrings not chains the bye-byes and small talk,
But somehow, That's just a formality,
I feel mine is leashed up with people I meet, how do I tell you,
the people I like, That, you can get up and leave but
sometimes it gets too much but how do I tell people that, the ghost of the hold you had on my hand
it's not you, now is at my throat, and chokes me
It's me, and I've got tears at the brim of my lash line
You see, I'm an extrovert, it's struggling to stay back,
But that's the funny thing about labels, the same way I'm controlling myself
They only stick for so long, to not throw my arms around them,

and before you know it, And beg them to stay,
They yellow at the corners, so long till you sit, and tell me
And start to crinkle and it's all gonna be , okay.
Eventually one day, till they fall off I'm back to my physics class,
And you realise that you are not who you pretended to be, I am anxiety in the seconds of in-betweens
And it was about time people should I'm stuck in a triangle
See, what happens when you have With all it's vertices towards me, 

it's called divergence you see?
