Immaturity



I remember the time
The time when
Hefty decisions I used to take,
Getting secluded used to be my fate,
I cried on the smallest of things,
Getting despised by others used to be the same,
I know even I use to hate myself...

I remember the time
The time
I couldn't even keep a secret,
Thought I was so preeminent,
and used to always get what I yearned for;
I used to boast myself up,
by undermining others

Now these horrifying memories are ghosting me,
Like the ghouls in my dreams,
I thought my excuse of being a child is enough,
but I know even Immaturity has its bounds,
So, I will try to atone it from now on...

About this poem

This poem is about the time when I was younger and how I hated my past self. My past self was immature, selfish and childish. I wanted to change my image. Everybody have something they regret in their life the most. The thing I regret is my immaturity and not being able to fulfill what other's expected from me.

I wanted to learn from others as my writing skills are quite lacking so I hope participating in this competition will help me. more…
