CHANGED A LOT

I have changed a lot from

the days I was a tiny tot

those days in life there was no care

I never bothered about my hair.

 

 As I grew up to be a young girl

I saw others, busy with their curls

Used to look at them in fascination

from my position of isolation.

 

Wondered why they bothered -

why they weren't my companions

On a journey in search of intellectualism,

knowledge and wisdom.

 

As I became a young lady

my mind was full of idealism

But soon it melted away in

the face of realism.

 

The process didn't take

long to complete

for it was TIME, so

impossible to beat.

 

Responsibilities changed me

ever so soon

Was I mistaken that

life was a boon?

 

Now I realise I could

never change anything

Ultimately I changed myself

for everything.

 

Yes, I have changed a lot

from the days when

I was a tiny tot.
