Eve's Diary

I am a girl and today I take a pause

a deep long pause!

I may be a mother, wife or say a daughter

If I exist in future for all you bother!

Says Mother– I gave you birth!

I understand if you don’t realize its worth

“I love you my child”, a lot in fact

can I just ask for a little respect?

Says Sister– I grew up with you!

we always shared the toys that were new

you were offered luxuries on a platter

restrictions on me, My dreams were to shatter

Says Wife – I left my house to live with you!

to teach you the meaning of family & love

you claim me, that’s all fine

being remotely controlled was no dream of mine

Says Daughter– I gave you joy of beauty!

Imposing on you inhibition & duty

I have a dream so let me live now

your ‘trader’ will take me someday anyhow

To say now I have nothing to say

I am not safe wherever I stay

cycle of life revolves around me

the paddle you whirl as good as for free

Some promise me ‘Moon-ingful’ emotions

those who fail try forcible actions

I die then live, then live to die!

minutes of pleasure, a lifetime to cry!

I have a warning, as I am not scared now:

you like ‘Me’, then I am the best!

you like ‘Mine’, go take some rest!

If I can create, I can erase

The bird now soars for an infinite chase
