In between hiding her tears and faking a smile, she grew
up.
As an independent woman that she was,
She knew she could cry like a kid but choose to keep
silent,
Patiently waiting to see what life has got to offer.
In between full filing everyone expectations,
To loosing on her high dreams, she grew up.
All she ever wanted was to conquer the world,
But she could feel her wings being tied with chains, she
never knew existed.
In between getting judged for things she had no control
over,
To making them realize their mistake, she grew up.
In between trying to adjust with the societal definition
of pretty,
To being comfortable in her own skin, she grew up.
Pretty or not, she knew she was beautiful indeed.
In between being an innocent, weak kid
To raising a voice against all the wrongs she observed
around, she grew up.
She has conquered
her fears slowly but steadily.
In between reading a thousand quotes to inspire her,
To trying to implement all those, she grew up.
She thought her life would be a happy one, following
those quotes
But what she didn’t realize was, ‘ceteris-paribus’ cannot
be taken for granted.
In between going
alone for movies and restaurants, she grew up.
Oh no, she wasn’t lonely, but she didn’t choose to be
alone either.
She was just
another ‘happy go lucky girl’ who started enjoying her own company.
She realized the only person who will be there for her
always is herself.
In between cribbing for toys, chocolates and icecreams,
To managing all her finances, she grew up.
Materialistic things don’t seem to impress her now, real
emotions still do.
In between trying to please everyone,
To turning a deaf ear to “log kya kahenge”, she grew up.
People who matter don’t judge and people who judge no
longer matters.
A thousand incidents made her grow, but the day she
choose to fight against all odds,
To be optimistic and to take full control of her life,
she knew she had grown up.
All geared up to be an example setter for the world to follow.
