An ode to 2000,
When I was born and opened my eyes
In the jungle called life
An ode to 2002
When I first learnt how to write
And I use to question everything as if it was my right
An ode to 2005
When I use to watch all my favourite cartoons on TV
Life, was great back then you see
An ode to 2009
When I wrote my first poem
And stories became my second home
An ode to 2013
When I laid my eyes on a guy felt cute to me in the class
I thought it was love, not knowing it would happen again and again and this, too shall pass
An ode to 2016
I changed my school to study Arts
You know, that’s where my confidence building starts
An ode to 2018
When for the first time I went to a new city to live all by myself
A bit nervous for I had to do things by my own when I didn’t even know how to clean my shelves
So, in 2021
I remember all of this
Hoping things will get better and we will soon be doing things we miss.
