I was sixteen you see.

Wild & Free,

Always in a Hurry!

I met new people and old ones,

I found more liberty!

I got to know Love,

I was met with mistakes & glee.

There were times of sorrow,

but the bad times didn’t grow as trees.

Naive & Stupid, I was running all around,

With love & affection for enemies…

It’s okay though.

They were my friend at a point,

Now the point is an infinite line,

Intersecting with only time.

The power is now in my mind,

To feel more love & affection for the right kind!

I am not sixteen you see,

yet I know how I used to be.

I can still be the fearless SHE,

I just stop myself from feeling ME.

If I feel HER anymore,

I will again be wild & free.

Life will become easy,

That’s not an adult life you see.

You need sufferings to understand the psychology,

To feel the pain & hurt more than guilty.

To live as an adult & keep remembering,

What it feels like, to be sixteen.
