Basta: The school bag

The heavy load on my back,
Filled with books, pencils & pens,
The sticker in front for some pizazz,
Adorned with keychains, bought & gifted, alike
My very ownbasta ,
Holding so much more than just books,
The disappointing red marks in my notebooks,
The love letter that remained in the back pocket, as well
The half-hearted notes from history,
To the countless doodles made in geography
The confusing algebra problems to
My friend’s ‘Autograph’ for future
I carried the aspirations, as well as
the burden of parents’ expectations
Thebasta , now covered in dust,
Remains unopened, maybe one day
I’ll open it to relive my golden moments,
Both happy and sad, they belong to me.
