Juvenile Years

Life shortens, we grow.

Thoughts change, hard to accept

Now going a little back at time.

We held the power to think even at our birth

Do we remember how we thought when we were three?

Incidents of then gives us no vivid picture

Now we convinced ourselves we never thought then

We grow, new incidents make their room,

We think a bit more, we think what we thought before was foolish

The chain continues, the cycle runs.

Now we are 12, some dreams we dream, its time to choose one of them

We will achieve it and prove everyone I can

Thinking states "I think differently"

We grow, we enter the field of dreams where everyone dreams

Busy in this prompt moving competition, we work harder

The leftover 20 coins are used for cold drinks when we come back from work

A peace within makes us realize we are working

But then, We grow again.

Now we see different lifestyles infront of us.

We try to convince ourselves we'll stick to our thinking.

To them we say no, but at a point we are bound to go.

In this mixture of different lifestyles, gradually the dream disappears

We dont want to accept but the situation do explain.

Now we are in college, the leftover 20 coins are now used in the dark,

where we have a cup of tea and a cigarette.

Where is the boy who used to dream and think?

Still we think we don't smoke like other people do for petty excuses,

We try to be different in anyway possible,

Well, weeds and drugs are the next step we all know,

It is hard to accept that we have dissolved in the society.

We were always thinking, did thinking got better or it got worse as we grew up?

What about the boy who was 3, without knowledge of good or bad, came clean.

What did he think then?

We are growing and if it is called growing up,

Why are we following its steps?

How do we stop this?

Stuck in this maze, where are we?

Life, will you ever give some rest to this confused mind?

People say, 'our knowledge increase as we grow'; is it?

Haha, it is true.

Our knowledge has increased so much, we convinced the people and turned the bad into good.
