Past!
Glad that, it made me what I’m today;
Gave me the courage to fight the fate!
Undoubtedly, had plentiful regrets,
Also people, who made my past fruitful.
If I had a time-turner;
Just like Hermione Granger had in Harry Potter!
I would really pity on my past-self.

Unaware of the cruel competitive world,
Was just a fool of emotions,
Took tasks too serious,
Cried for little deeds,
Was too close to people,
With an extra flavour of love,

Also in extra-curricular activities,
So called teacher’s pet!

When the results of a unit test got posted,
I started sobbing, and caught fever that night!
Mom asked the reason for me being sick,
I cried out, “Got second this time!”
Many of my friends,
Still laugh out this episode of mine!

Went battling through cancer,
Discerning her suffering,
