Child inside me...

For you my “Mom”

I just killed the child inside me,

So you feel secured,

That my child has finally grown up!

Saw you in hardships and sorrows,

Was too small to be there for you then,

Now shall try and help,

In every way that I can!

I did take time to understand,

Your worry for me,

I am still like an ostrich,

Who refused the harsh world to see!

Today when I look in the mirror,

I see what a fool I am,

That I can never run away from the truth,

That now it’s time to grow up.

I can’t be a child anymore,

Who is carefree without any responsibility?

I have to grow up,

And that’s why I just killed the child inside me!
