CHANGES

a girl climbed up the tree
jumped down a roof
jumped over puddles
ran every day in the sun
so wild so adventurous
without care or worries
a young gal danced on stage
and acted in Shakespeare plays
got involved in sports
a young gal got conscious
about her clothes, her appearance
a young girl started looking
for an identity of herself
alone with her grandma
a young gal went off to bed
crying, thinking of her parents
a young gal grew without parents
her parents was her grandmother
a young girl hated walking on the road
she felt eyes piercing into her body
her ears opened to what she heard
people stare, spread rumours
drew a picture of her that she never knew
judgmental people were hard to avoid
a young girl had to walk alone
had to survive alone it was hard
slowly her ears became deaf
her eyes went blind
she stopped feeling conscious
she had to survive alone
she fought back not with words
but silence, grieving inside
breaking apart not knowing answers
for all the questions she had in mind
a young gal fell in love once
felt the joy of being loved
hand in hand she enjoyed
till her heart was broken
then she burried it deep inside
but the love grew again
for almost seven years
emotionally tortured
the world grew dark for her
it became cruel, to avoid
she lost her innocence
she became strong
she had to find the will power
to stand alone to cross barriers
a women found pleasure
in the little ones she taught
they showed her a world
full of love and inspiration
spending time at home was a disaster
a woman flew away to study
came back and wanted to start a good life
she was praised in her job
talented and creative
thats how people described her
a woman started thinking about life
took responsibilities and made decisions
some right and some wrong
a woman met different people
who hurt her again but this time
she was able to cope ,with dignity
a woman lost her grand mother
the love of her life
she fell apart, devoted herself
to God,she prayed for her love
a woman felt empty and alone
inside four walls she grieved alone
a woman got busy with her passions
lived cos she had to but became strong
a woman almost gave up on life
till her hand was held by someone
she was led gently
into the comfort of someone's arm
the damsel in distress
was carried away by the knight
a woman was shown a better path
for her patience, courage and faith
a woman felt for the first time
after death of her grandma
that her world has been taken care of
by the one who loved her
the one who took her hand
and gave his whole life to her
