Change And Growth Poem by Nida Sofi

Little innocent was I, much free was I
My treasure was little, much jolly was I,
Birds were companion, had my own heaven
My soul was so subtle and soft, in fantasy dreams I was being taken,
I shouted I laughed I jumped I danced
I cried I shared I pretended I lied,
Lest i growed and growed up slowly
I look in the mirror and find someone else sadly,
This world is so cruel that world is brutal
Every being is different now and little scary,
No longer i laugh with heart and smile with joy
My lips only get wide and i behave as oppressed toy,
All who were my own have disguised
Growing up was never easy and I remain amazed.
