Adolescence

15th jan2012 (This rhyming couplet has been inspired by the two of the three women who mean a lot to me. One my wife Subha and the other my daughter Swati…..my other daughter Sruti is twelve and along with me is a witness to the interaction between my wife and my elderdaughter.This is what my elder girl has to say......) Life as it is now seems to me all but confused, No one seems to try and understand me and am never excused. Mom, dad, elders & teachers, They act as if I have within me morbid creatures. They don’t seem to understand, That, my life is for me to run and not to be canned. They just can’t and should not run it, And only then can all of us be together close knit. I now have sensed, in two different worlds we dwell, And two different zones, theirs easy mine hell. I fail to understand why they can’t to “control” bid farewell, Cause unless they do so the more I will rebel. I just don’t care about grounding and punishment, Cause they cannot, sink my hope or even dent. Now all I care is about freedom, memories and dreams, Of people I love, things I want to do and words I want to bravely scream. How I wish they would try to understand, The problems of the teens and how these tend to only expand. They just will not understand, Comparing “back then” & now is not just the tick of the hour hand, But a gap of many eons and different time zones, Alas now I am on my own….. Trying to hold on… Be better known….. But be let alone…. Bemoan….. Alone ...
