As a child, we all dream
Brooding over our ice-cream
One day I shall become
An engineer, a doctor or a nun
Naïve as we are
Shining brightly as that distant star
Until we reach a stage
Oh, what a suffocating cage.
Our careers to think about
Intentions, our parents doubt
STUDY STUDY is the cry
Until their vocal chords run dry
And then the exams come
Easy to some
Horror to others
Set a many a heart aflutter
And when you heave a sigh of relief
Confident in your own belief
The results are declared
Your parents more than you, are scared
Some people succeed
Others, tears of disappointment bleed
But after many heart breaks,
The moment to cut the cake.
You get into a college somewhere
With gleeful looks, your parents stare.
And then you set out
With energy, enthusiasm and a lot of clout
And then reality sets in
It’s a grossly sin.
All alone in this thing called life
Waiting for you with sharpened knives
Classes, friends all anew,
For lunch, you have stew
Feeling homesick
Heart giving itself hard kicks
But as time files by
All these feelings die
You study, play and enjoy,
“Go home, but why?”
Seeing those girls in the passage way
In heaven my heart seemed to lay
The countless walks around the park,
stop dreaming....my friends would bark!!!
Friends are your new ideology,
Exam, your biggest folly!!!
You have ups and downs,
Facets of you in the form of gowns.
Discovering yourself
Into the depths of personality you delve.
And then comes the time to go
Astounding memories seem to flow!!!
Friends w are separated from,
As if a by a horrendous storm.
We recall the day we came
And our rise up the ladder of fame.
More knowledgeable we are
Viewing again that distant star.
We realize how time has flown
In 20 years how we’ve grown.
But the memories of the past few years
Shall bring loads of tears.
As we set out our sails
With sadness my heart wails,
Sadness and tears it sends
As my memoirs come to an end!!!!
