Mom

Mom...

Umbilical cord was cut long back...let me go now!

I was born of you but I am not you..I will never be you...stop dreaming now!

You did what you could for me...so?? I am doing the same for my kid...don't exploit that now!

You consider yourself superhuman...consider me atleast a human...refrain from judging me now!

I have enough of singing your praises...how about you appreciating my little efforts now!

For all your supposed achievements...you sit alone in balcony...and for all his supposed shortcomings...I miss papa daily...doesn't that tell you something even now!

Come down from your pedestal of divinity... and be a mom I would love...atleast now!

But!

Whom am I talking to...

Idols don't respond....will not respond...

Alas!

Not now...Not ever...
