English Poem – That Little Girl in Me
© Anand Vishnu Prakash, YourStoryClub.com
In my not-so-good appearance, there lies a little girl
When I woke from my somber she gives me a warm smile
Asking me the same question every time
Am I happy enough?
And I go back to the folks who are my dear ones
First image is of my Daddy, who is very close to me
But my heart restrains me from sharing things
Second comes my Mommy
Who is very far from my own World
Third comes my other family members
From whom I never mix-up
Though I have many friends
But they are not so close to me
Then comes Him
With whom I share everything and expected the same
But now, even He seems like non-understanding
No one ask me my wish
They all simply blamed me for my behavior
They give me suggestions which I never needed
But they fail to give me something which I always wished for
Thinking all these things in the middle of the night
Gives me so many horrible thoughts
But again I have no one on my side to share things
And so I assumed my inner-self to be my best companion
To which I share things and take suggestions
She has been with me for so long
But I never try to listen her
She warns me for being so optimistic with people
And I scold her, saying they are good
But now that I am all alone
She assures me that I am not lonely
But when sun rises and I confront same world
I wonder how to keep myself happy
In this strange world, where no one is helpful
And the very moment
That little girl in me gives me warm smile
Walking with my side, gives me a promising gesture
And boosts me for the challenges lies ahead
