One day, you are trotting in your shoes
That glimmer with light in those heels.
A pink frock for your birthday,
A cake that says you just turned 5.
A skipping rope, a GI-Joe
Is all that you need in life.
Life was complete with those people
People who made you smile.
Dad, Mum and your little brother
Running about doing everything you need.
All shimmers like gold and platinum
Life could never get better.
A bunch of friends in your colony
Who you thought would never leave your side.
Trying to please people
Was the least of our concerns.
Homework was a piece of cake
Studying was never that difficult.
Home to me was my world
A world that had no boundaries.
A whole new world waited for me
But I could not care less.
Then came a time when everything changed
A change that I could not accept.
But with time and space I got to adapt
Adapt to a whole new me.
"Me" shifted to "I"
The superego took over.
The new "I" hurt people
The new "I" hurt "Me".
Responsibilities had no role to play
Life was still way simpler then.
Here I stand today
Tall and strong.
But somewhere inside me
I know there is something waiting.
Something big, something scary
Something called "Responsibility".
