Mighty Red

Figures of fiery flames

Sunshine sweet and sweltering 

Passion is powerful 

Red is radiant but rash 

Red rushes rapidly 

Red can leave me hot and angry

But red is also long lasting love 

Red looks like my brother Adi 

Coloring his heart in love 

Puru Sharma

I’m Puru. I have big dreams for my future self. Typing will change the trajectory of my life for the better. I’m very blessed that I have, for the first time, my own voice. 

It has been challenging to type all my thoughts because it can be hard to control my OCD impulses. Inside my head I’m smart and loving, but in reality I can’t always demonstrate just how truly capable I am. Inside my mind lives a world of language waiting to be free. It is very hard having no voice, learning to type can target this lack of communication. Gusts of success have kept me motivated. My newfound friends and support system all motivate me too.

I’ve always dreamt of a time in my little life where I would have friends. Happy to become a part of the speller community. Using all my strength and willpower, I wrote these pieces for using as small windows to my soul. Destroying misconceptions is music to my ears.
