Gone are the days!!!
When I was still a girl!!!
Smoking a cigarette in secret was the only joy!!!
When,impressing my first crush,was the only dream I had...
Reaching home late and sneaking through the closed door, were like those horror nights..
Where getting caught by dad was like a nightmare come alive..
Mom!!...Mom use to be my best friend, and she use to save me from all those pot-holes of criticism and despair, which otherwise would have drowned my childhood,
and I would have stood like a loner and would have perished admits the crowd.
She was always there, holding an umbrella of faith, while I danced in the rain!!
Cherishing every drop of rain which trickled down my chic..
One morning my alarm clock rang!! [tringggg]].... I woke up startled!!... and realized all this to be a dream of my past...
I jumped off my bed!!.. and looked in the mirror, and saw a strange face staring back at me..like she knows me soo well.
She seemed to look all grown up, but had a hint of her childhood hiding beside that anxious smile..
It gave me a shiver of joy when I recalled the the girl who I once was..
The days!! When,I grew up through dusky days and darkest nights...
When I stumbled and scattered,among the thrones of life ,and yet!! found myself "happy" and "alive" ..
But I lost my childhood...and I blamed that on the person in the mirror..
Days passed by!!..
And I slowly and gradually started playing along with this monotonous life...
"A role play of being an Adult"
Because, this world had made me believe by now that life is a "Game"...
Where!!.. being at the top is the only option I have...
So, Today!!...I cheers to all that is gone...
And . to all the "unknowns" which is yet to come...
I assume... I'm on my way to achieve what I want..and yet..why do I still find myself at the corner of the room...
"Scared and weak",and trying to find a way out of all this chaos"..
I try to shake it off!!.. but it takes control over me every time...
Setting a reminder that all this is a myth!!!
Then I turn around and ask myself...
"What do I really want from this fucking life???""
"""Then the girl from the corner of the room which I had locked for long,comes closer to me and whispers in my ear"""....
Free me!!!! Free me!!!! Free me!!!!!
