Perfect example

Archana Agarwal

Had thought in childhood
That I would be a Paradigm
To the older generation
And those in their prime
And to many more
In every era and time
  
As I grew old and older
And struggled to become mature
Trying to achieve perfection
I became more and more unsure
How can I be an example
When I know I’m still an amateur.
