'birthdays Bring Changes'
Everyone gets excited when their birthday is around,
I also used to be curious when gift packs I found...
Gradually a lot of things changed with time,
The biggest contrast I saw in me, I was not mine...
I changed a little after my eighteenth birthday,
When people looked at me in a grown up way,
I left my stupidity in the next turn,
It was high time because siblings started to make fun...
I decided to work simultaneously with studies then,
But everyone was against it and I had clashes with them...
I changed a little more when I was twenty one,
I heard from a lady that at this age, she had a son...
I still didn't give up on my dreams,
I always wanted to fly even without wings...
I proved myself till the next came,
But my interest was lacking in it, all I was looking for the change...
I don't get tired of things but get bored,
Only because I don't find something new in the old...
I changed a little more in the coming years,
Just like all, I've also seen some betrayals...
Some friends & relatives did back biting,
Pretending they are well wishers and not acting...
But time showed their true colours to me,
I got alert and left them on whatever is to be...
People tried to control me like the electric current in the wire,
They got a slap when they gotta know that I'm an open fire...
Now birthdays come with lessons of the year concluded,
I don't celebrate in chaos like earlier I did...
I've changed a lot more now,
Don't like unnecessary drama & want peace anyhow...
That doesn't mean I'm scared of arguments,
Instead I'm sensible enough not to give free entertainment...
I've shared a blossom out of the life's garden in rhyme,
Cherishing the good times,
And learnt from the bitter experiences leaving behind...
Let me be 'Me', I don't wanna change forcibly,
I want to be 'Me' forever to be happy incredibly...
I'm thankful to those who accepted the real me,
I too have flaws but the perfection they see,
And for haters, ignorance is my success key...
I'll will become what I shall to be!
