Give me back

Why do I want to be a child again?

why are some memories pushing me with the pain?

I am not what I am supposed to be

fair, independent and totally free

 

the child in me is totally forgotten

instead, it has driven me

to the desperation and deception

I have failed to maintain the human relations

 

I think to cheat my own people

laugh at their plight and make them struggle

an ego in me shouts loudly

and enjoys the pain cruelly

 

I remember my childhood days

full of innocence and impatience

still, it harmed no one

and gave happiness to everyone

 

I remember the old people

giving me chocolates and apple

they may, perhaps, be thinking of the same

that I am feeling and want to claim

 

No, I am tired of this world game

and feel shame too

I want no treachery and deception

but only recognition of childhood
