Tender Age

As a child I learnt nothing 

I only experienced without ever figuring out why so, what so like truly living.

It’s when I grew up experiences started teaching me

Incidents got into instincts and 

Memories became my mentor 

I survived.

I’m alive; reliving each day with flashbacks and hope

In every child, curiosity keeps craving until

Society embarks its shade upon

That kid of relentless and unbounded desires learns then, to walk with it’s pressure and pace.

As a child you can have all you want

Rigidness and throwing tantrums won’t make you judged

No mistake is a mistake of a child

Later one day you realize, 

You are no longer a child.

Sing me a lullaby to sleep

So I don’t have to listen sad songs till I fall asleep …

When I’m awake play a little with me or take me to park 

Before I go back in self analysis again.

A reason to live

A purpose to fulfill 

A goal to achieve

A dream to bring into reality 

It’s all right to have but 

Bring me that eagerness to know everything

That inquisitiveness instead of anxiety

Let me have my notoriety and spark of innocence.
