Mood swings (a poem)

I had this one in my drafts for the last 4 years. I think I was hoping to make it a little more extended one day, but life is too short to not publish your childhood poems (yes, 4 years back feels like childhood now). So, here goes...


Sometimes I can be so grumpy.

Instead of being happy.


Mood swings at the worst.

So, I may have an outburst.


The reason could be my periods.

Or a ton of stress.


Give me a surprise.

And I might apologize.


I might get excited.

And may even seem ecstatic.


Okay, this kid was clearly going through mood swings, maybe because of a fight with her boyfriend, without realizing that mood swings are not that rare in her future.

Clouded Judgement

So yesterday, we did a little exercise in class for "Leadership Development" where we were supposed to give and receive feedback on our leadership styles from our friends. To answer the prompt of the thing that can hold your friend back in leadership, one of my friends mentioned that my overexcitement or extreme emotions can cloud my judgment, and that sure seemed like a bold statement to make. To understand this better, I asked for an instance (because I just couldn't understand it - I mean, yeah, I do get overexcited sometimes, and I sure do have a lot of extreme emotions, but clouded judgement?) Talking about the instance, he said that right at the start of the second year, I was really excited about helping and guiding the juniors (because that's how our seniors helped us, and I'm eternally grateful for them). Still, somehow, I ended up helping too many juniors, which led to extreme exhaustion. Some of those ungrateful bitches got me so angry because they thou...
