The Caged Emotions!!

We all grow up to become that person who we never wanted to be, and yet we pretend to be happy and soulful.

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!!!!!
