Every decision I take

And every mistake I make

Always has humongous strife

In my life

 

This I believe makes me aware

Of life lessons taught seldom and rare

For it is true

That experience is the best teacher for you

 

Yet as I live by my choices

Ignoring the vilifying voices

I wonder

How far I’ve come to wander

 

Not too long ago

I clung to my mother

And fervently followed her

Everywhere she went

Happy and Content

 

Sheltered from worldly woes

And oblivious of the unknown foes

I was a blissful child in my little bubble

Causing mischief and trouble

 

 

But nothing lasts forever

And I grew up due to societal lever

Judged and criticised harshly

For many actions

And unforseen glorification

For a few more

I realised soon enough

That society is fickle to core

 

Why give reign over me

To a society as this

Which drowns me

In pain and abyss
