I am no more a child but am still innocent
I am not yet a grown up but am expected to be
Life’s being unfair… it is a tug – of – war
&’m caught in between
They say I should grow up
They say I am naïve
I do not ask them for much
I just ask them to let me be
I am the princess of my own world
I will take my own sweet pace
I do not wish to become professional
& join the rat – race
Do not kill my innocence
Do not kill my childhood
I know what is right, what is wrong
Let me drown in the elixir of youth
I may be being unreasonable
I may be being foolish
But that is the way I want to be
I want to learn things my own way
They have already butchered me
They have already slaughtered me
What more is there to do?
They wait to see the traumatized me
But I will not give up
I refuse to give in
This is a part of my learning too
I may be a kid
I may be immature
But I’ve no qualms about that
I am more of an achiever than anyone else
I will fly high
I will touch the sky
I will break away the chains
I will forget all the brains
It is my life after all
My life…
