Once upon a time...

                                                     

Once upon a time there was a confused-little momma's gal

She would stalk her mother almost everywhere, 

life without mom seemed impossible to her, 

outside-world to her was one monstrous place,

She would observe things around her

some would inspire her, some would bother her, some would amuse her,

while some left her spellbound...

She was shy yet opinionated, confused yet logical, quite yet affable

what-so-ever she kept it to herself..

But as she grew up, her perception changed

She met new people, she made new friends

World to her no-longer appeares strange & cruel

Now she had one thing on her mind,

All her life she had waited for this moment

Moment which renderes sense of independence

Moment which renderes self hood

Moment which made her believe that she can survive in this world all alone

It wasn’t a cakewalk, but she got through

Now she would gaze the sky as if she owns a part of it,

She would feel the breeze as it was customized for her

She lived every bit of this moment

But, as they say happy-moments are short-lived...

Ever-so-often life compels everyone to make a choice

She did make a choice of letting go her most cherished moment,

This is a new beginning for her, she is pleased, delighted

But still longs for her piece of sky, longs for the breeze, longs for her identity

for now she has an uncertain hiatus ahead of her.... despite this

she would never let go her dreams, her ambitions

For she believes, she shall live her moment again, anew, afresh.....
