OMG! I’ve changed…
(POEM)
Down the memory lane, remembered a day,
My only ambition was to…
Find a job, help my dad,
A responsible daughter I was meant to be…
Gifted I was, with a wise little boon,
Thankfully at my place,
For she always knew, what was better for me…
Immaculate and jubilant, the days passed by,
Loved it for the friends with me…
Coz’ smooth & stern under control, they drove me always…
Now that they say, I’ve changed…
Every single one doth…
And am terrified with just…
WHAT??? HOW??? REALLY???
Sitting on my Thinking Chair, figuring out the answers…
Slow and parched…
Pens and words moved in my head…
Just to jot down the few differences I noticed…
Not much of a change…
Was a day, when Releases were meant only for movies, most awaited…
Is a day, when they are late nights at the call centers, helpless…
Was a day, when Bugs were tiny un-harming beetles…
Is a day, when they turned out as Scare Crows and nightmares…
Was a time, when greenery was refreshing…
Is a time, when the Techno forest I’m in, covers me, like I’m lost in a canopy…
Was a time, when Teas and Coffees were censored drinks…
Is a time, when Teas and lunches, are the only good times I get…
Was a time, when any single person with me, made a Team…
Is a time, when I’m always in a Team, all alone…
Was a day, when I used to teach others to smile…
Is a time, when I hope someone helps me smile…
Was a time, when being a Chatterbox was my only hobby
Talking non-sense was the only sense I had…
Is the time, when staying quiet is far safer for me and others…
Was a time, when my brushes were always colorful…
Is a time, when my palette is always dusted, black and white…
Was a time, when Pretty meant smiles, I was always Pretty…
Is a time, when I am always hideous and ugly…
Was a time, when the word “GUILT” killed me…
Is a time, when I can stand happily smiling, even after killing a man myself…
Was a time, when I thought I was an average student…
Is a time, when I wonder, how I crossed my 10th and 12th…
Was a day, when hanging out with family and friends was fun…
Is a time, when there’s energy only to sit and chat with them on the WhatsApp…
Was a time, when writing was always to express my love for others…
Is a time, when I’m writing, unable to express myself…
Was a time, when Dad’s parallel dual degree, were as easy as, buying a candy…
Is a time, when I‘m speechless, coz’ I would’ve never done that…
Was a time, when I scolded and scorned Mom, for wasting her career and passion…
Is a time, when I realize, I’m blessed that I didn’t have to miss her anytime…
Was a time, when I was Penniless, accomplished & dazzling…
Now that, I’m Rich, gaunt and feeble…
Now, amidst of the present busy lane…
Lost totally in changes…
I stand with the only ambition of…
Finding me and my smiles back…
OMG! I wish I had never changed!!!
