Memories Of School

By Akshaya Ayyappan

Being in a phase of life with maximum reactivity,

Standing on the bridge that leads to maturity,

Sometimes the path ahead seems exciting,

Wanting me to go forth exploring,

Sometimes the path behind does yank,

Wanting me to go back,

To enjoy those memories made in school.

Laughing with our best buddies,

Sleeping in the boring lesson without studies,

The nervousness of paper distribution,

To check if we passed the examination,

Breaking things in the Chemistry lab,

To finishing homework in the class asap,

Yes, those are the memories of school.

Fulfilling teacher’s expectation,

What results is satisfaction,

Eating friend’s food is a never-ending saga,

Going back home tired watching Hungama,

Dressing up together on the last day for farewell,

Yet at the end of day we get out of our comfort shell,

Yes, that’s what we cherish in school.

Standing on the bridge isn’t that easy,

While going ahead awaits difficulty,

But going back is definitely impossible,

Combo of all these is life is docible,

Knowing this makes me go on,

But one thing I’ll definitely carry on,

Is the memories made in school.
