Advanced Level

ADVANCED LEVELS

Advanced Level, now I smile

when I read it. No special

reason, no special person. So many

memories now I miss. For

those two and a half years,

summed up Happiness!

Sure studies weren’t a treat.

All sorts of hardships added

with Exams! Yet now I only see

laughter!

Early morning walk to school, sneaking

from the school, bunking classes, permission

to take electronics, free access to school Wi-Fi,

movies in IT lab, interval whenever wanted,

roaming around the ground with friends,

oh! Those swings!

All liberty because of Advanced Level.

Whatever felt annoying then has become a

sweet memory now. Torturing tuitions from

dawn to dusk, bragging tutors yearning for fame,

unasked bodyguards with a love of their own

and best of all the morning assembly

with a boring Principal!

So many things I learnt about myself.

A lot of accomplishments

I made all by myself. A name

for me, records for my city.

Kingdom built for me, all by me.

At times we felt, that we

Wouldn’t make it!

Yet we never stopped trying. That

Taught, hard work never dies!

We wanted to fly, to succeed, to

be free and stand on our own feet.

We dreamt of a place on earth. Thus, a

surrounding of handpicked people

we created in Advanced Level.

And then maturity bloomed.

We became of age! Literally

this time. Adults we are now.

The shoulders that were ready

to hold the world, now couldn’t even

shoulder its own burdens!

Fear of future dawns when

The reality of the life burns.
