First day in the school

 

My School

Wreathed in the halo of fears

A lot of apprehensions, presumptions, and misconceptions

Heart packed with enthusiasm and embarrassment

I traversed the path to the school

Yes, it was my first day in the school

Yes, it was a government school.

Dispirited by the discomfort of my disability

Awkwardness in gait but sure of my abilities

Hopes abound with the confidence of stability

I traversed the path to the school

Yes, it was my first day in the school

Yes, it was a government school.

Anticipation was rightful - a nondescript building needs a groom

The goddess of learning resided in the antiquated classrooms

A vast ground with no guardroom

Cold and dark staffroom

Yes, it was my first day in the school

Yes, it was a government school.

Huge Ground with scattered shales and macadam 

Large enough to hamper my ambulation

Piercing deep, paining and leading to frustration

Perturburating confidence and enhancing palpitation

Yes, it was my first day in the school

Yes, it was a government school

I continued as I knew to get benefit from something

It was unknown to me as I knew about it nothing

Beyond the sight, perhaps my status was burnishing

Going to give me pleasure, though it was now anguishing

Thoughts of my first day in the school

Yes, it was a government school

The unexceptional building rested in a pristine environment

The exceptional staff were always at its upliftment

Bon homie headmaster and a congenial department

Heaved sigh to be in this school

Yes, it was my first day in the school

Yes, it was a government school.

A figment of thought stirred my realization

For, both- I, and the school needed some renovation

Me at the mercy of  God and the school at the administration

Scholars radiated conviviality, away from the lull, made my life full

Yes, it was my first day in the school

Yes, it was a government school.
