me.... a peek into my life so far

Remembering my childhood days,
i see flashes of minutes gone by,
thinking on how the past has shaped me,
i dream on.

coming on from when i was 7,
I was handed a responsibility,
of being a brahmin,
learning various hymns, time passed.

god fearing was i,
reciting all that was taught,
everyday, till i was 12,
when i turned a bad leaf.

teenage creeping inside me,
i followed my peers,
searching for transient glory,
i landed myself in trouble.

even then i didn't change,
following the wrong path,
i started paving a tunnel,
to a disastrous future, until....

a light flickered somewhere,
changing my direct course,
i got transferred to another school,
where i was an alien.

amidst such gems was i,
that i found a wing for my plummeting life,
and i changed once more,
to an extent which restored my senses.

then during 15, life changed,
was put into a different school,
facing a new environment,
i met up with multifarious people.

but by then i had learn't,
the art of filtering my thoughts,
was able to find the right friends,
and so life went on.

then came 17 with all it's glory,
had been placed in a,
wonderful and bubbly college,
made a lot of friends.

and now I'm 19,
life is moving like a boat on a limpid ocean,
amidst my friends and my teachers,
i hope to find my second wing and fly again.
