Am a Research Scholar

Am a research scholar

I have delved into pages

To discover the themes

Re-read papers to catch

the core thought

I have moulded my vision

Scaled its’ scope

Drawn its’ boundaries

Let dreams stand

I have a methodology to follow

I have a time frame to abide by

Over cups of tea

Statistics form conversations

Working papers take time

Conferences are a must chime

I am looking at things differently

Trying to at least

Want to go beyond just a thesis

Want it to contribute to a larger need

But for now

It’s mind at work

Socializing can wait

Let the heart take a break

Soul searching can wait

Am a research scholar!

Will find my wings

Will find my niche

Will find my calling

Will find myself

Will find what it means

To have re-searched all this time
