Poise Poem by Shreej k.c

I wrote this poem during my first year at med school. I wrote it as a fiction on 'dignity/self respect'. When I showed it to one of my friends asking her to suggest a topic, she told me the poem describes me completely, she said-'its you! ' I couldn't argue with her because she was my friend since grade four and also she was always very mature for her age. I felt uncomfortable and awkward. I just closed the notebook and never turned that page again! Today as I reopen it I think what bothered me then was the fact that while writing fiction sometimes a part of you can reflect in it. It also depends on the writer's maturity and it was only the second poem of an amateur writer. As I realize this today it makes me smile and I finally choose the topic though in haste!
