Your Favorite Song, My Musical Addiction
My favorite song is none other than Avril's
Here's to never growing up!
Why, should you wonder
Pray, mainly because like Avril,
I am also a rebel!
A rebel against life's one way stages
Against the fact that it does never give us options
Rather, it imposes on us
The notion that at one point in our life
We are to fly on rainbow colored clouds
And deem of ourselves as being mythical creatures
While at another point,
We are to scream in silence
Wailing at life
Wailing at existence
At why did it bring us
To a point of no return
To a point of sagging skin
And frail bones
And falling teeth
And loss of hair
And diminishing strength
And finally, Death!
Pray, the child in us, remains as long as it wants to
The child in us, simply learns to behave accordingly
To fit in into society
To make way for the younger ones
To follow societal rules
To pretend
Yes, in all,
To pretend to be grown up
And mature!
Avril has sung it, that which I feel
Looking like I should be,
A woman in her thirties
I am, inside
A child,
Wanting to feel loved and secure
Wanting to explore and discover
Wanting to be acclaimed and lauded!
But then the adult in me shall be
And shall move mountains
To seem like I should be
But I shall also steal time
To listen to Avril each time I can
So as to gladden the inner child in me
As long as I can!
