Running!!

All the yester years

I’ve been running really mad

To fit myself into shoes

That belong to others.

Doing what was told

How to do and what to do

No-one to talk nor a support to hold

All the fears that I went through.

Today I find I’m still running

Not out of fear of losing the race

Not in an attempt of becoming

But, There’s something new that I brace.

I have this sudden enlightenment

My days on earth are numbered

There are lots of things I wish to do,

Oh ! All these days I slumbered

Over-imagining about fulfillment!

While once with fright

And once in compliance

Now with full vigour and full might

And might be even passionate vehemence

I’m still running though not a race.

Checking things in my bucket list

Wearing that dress and walking in rain

Preparing myself for the sudden twist

For then, I should run away in smiles and not in pain!
