A Student’s Woes

My School
I go to a school
Which is cool
But the marks I got in my exam
Created a bedlam
I wanted to go to the hall of fame,
But ended up crying in the hall of shame
I think my marks are fine,
But, out of eight, my parents expect nine!
I don’t think that it is such a crime,
But I can try harder next time!

Mourning Butterfly

Flutter, flutter
She flies away
As I look back in dismay

She didn’t turn back,
At least not today
Colour drained from my face
As I found myself in a complex maze

Darkness pulled me into its arms,
My emotions were nowhere near calm
Yet she didn’t come back,
I stood still in the pitch black
In dark clothes, with my dark emotions
Yes, I miss my mom.
