Wish I could turn back time, be a child once more
Could laugh and cry as I wish, free to smile, adore
Express myself as I feel deep inside my heart
Sans caring what others find me- stupid,funny or smart
As I grew I learnt to suppress what i feel inside
That is what society taught me –emotions one must hide
Even when I feel angry, jealous , lonely or sad
I must sport a happy face without turning mad
Fake smile, fake tears, fake is everything now
People still act like this….i don’t understand how!
Strangled by the rules of the clever makes me run for help
It’s better to be a stupid and a fool but remain me- myself!
Wish I could be a child and play as I want
Laugh my heart out, cry a pool or snarl at my aunt
None to judge me, none to stop me, free as a bird-
If only I could turn back time, life would not be hard!
