I Look Back

I look back to see a timorous school girl at

The corner of a classroom;

Reading a book absent-mindedly, peeking

Out in anticipation,

I look back and see a young girl on her way

To give a intrepid look as to

Veil her agitation,

I look back and see a chaotic girl trying to

Consummate the unrealistic

Expectations of society

I look back and see a fitful girl in agony

Capitulating her wishes for

Other's fectility

Wearied with all these she looks up determined

To end up all the compulsions and

Ascend to win

Today I only look back to see how far I have come.
