The Missing Hand

Do you remember those days? 
When your father used to buy you everything— 
Your favorite toy, your favorite food. 
You didn’t have to worry about money. 
For your happiness, they sacrificed their needs. 
To gift you a smile, they fulfilled your desires. 
Holding their hands, walking down the street, 
Amidst the chaos of a bustling fair, 
You didn’t have to worry about anything!

Now, you have to worry, 
About your money, about your expenses. 
You’ve got responsibilities. 
Now, you make sacrifices. 
Now, there’s no hand to hold in the chaos. 
Who do you have now to guide you?

The moments when you thought you lacked freedom 
Were the moments when you had true freedom! 
Now you lack freedom. 
Now you're bound by responsibilities and duties. 
Now, nobody cares for your smile. 
You bring your own smile. 
Though it seems like freedom, 
It’s not. True freedom was when 
You had a hand to hold.
