THE CHILD WHISPERS IN ME

 

“amazing years”

“carefree and rebellious” 

“sleek and being naughty”

the child whispers in me 

I’ve missed the old you

fun, loving and laughing 

just because maturity has set in 

you discarded me and kept me in chain 

can I have you once again

I want to remind you of who you were 

your childhood dreams and aspiration 

building castle in the air and believing deeply 

I want to remind you how life was fun

when you need not worry what tomorrow burns 

when you sway your butts to rhythms in the showers 

talking to your imaginary friends in corners 

I wish I have you again  

to show you where the green grass grows 

dancing in the rain, savoring petrichor 

feeling free with only pants on 

let me have you once more 

now you laugh-less even when things are funny 

you stopped crying and bottled up emotions 

you now select friends to dine with 

 the child whispers in me 

now you’re alone, no joy in you 

maturity has made you hardened and lost

if you can just let me in one last time

we will be limitless, the whole world will bow
