My Lesson In 2018, One I Must Not Forget Poem by Mantrana Mahi Agarwal

Yes,2018 was a lovely year
With great and new moments
But you ask me,
What was my most remembered memory

No, it wasn't me becoming a teen
No, it wasn't me coming first in class
No, it wasn't me trying to be a good leader
no, it wasn't me enjoying my holidays

It was me, doing stupid things and learning lessons
One that I would never forget
You know, I thought I knew everything
But I didn't even know the simplest of facts

And those orange flames came at the right moment
Oh those beautiful stars on Earth
How long did it last, two minute
And suddenly there was the smell of charred hair

The flames burst out and my design was gone
All because I was foolish and consumed in self confidence
I didn't realise
