When I enter my lonely house with no one in sight,
I remember my mother with a warm glass of milk, I always despised
When I am tossed around in the local train,
I remember the warm hold of my daddy’s hand..
I wanted to be free like a dove,
But, now I wonder why I grew up?
My old house now stands dull and quiet,
The same which once was filled with laughter and fights,
The sullen walls and empty rooms ask with a hiccup…
That why I left it behind and why I grew up?
That loving faces, which are now wrinkled,
wait in anticipation, as its their turn to be pampered…
The family which was together, are now spread by miles,
Every time I leave behind people I love,
I wonder why I grew up?
