Breaking Bubbles Poem by Ila Sumam

Breaking Bubbles



When I was three
Blowing bubbles
Under my tamarind tree
Amma asked
'Do you know
Every life is
A bubble? '
I said no

After I turned ten
A sulking pre-teen, then
Amma said
'Each of a person's face
Is a bubble
Break the ones that hurt you
It works'
It worked

Now I've grown, evolved
So did Amma's bubbles
Whose number suffocated me
Deceiving charm hurt me

So I broke one of mine instead

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Growing up is never easy socially.World becomes so complicated...or so we believe.

Isn't it the way we look that matters that what we're looking at?
