When I was a kid, I lived in a town and was termed a human.
But when I grew up I found myself in a jungle.
Am I still at the same place, was what I first thought
Yes was the answer that I got.
So... what has changed from then to now?
To those of you who are asking where am I. I've left the world which meant everything to me, I'll pen something here only when I return to fulfill the promise for which I left everything. Who you thought I was, is the person I'm trying to be...
The fact that then you were innocent and now you no more are.....'cause you have grown up.
ReplyDeleteexcellent question. let me know if you find the answer :)
ReplyDeleteYou reminded me of an old post wen I was stuck up with the same question. I intended to discover the change that creeps in the vision of a child of seven to a young girl of nineteen..
ReplyDeletethe same tym an year back!

This made me feel sad about growing up, for some reasons. Regardless, beautiful words as usual.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...a few days back i was trying to find d answer to dis same ques in my poem 'lost is the child'..havent got d answer though.
ReplyDeleteWhat has changed? - The fact that from the childhood you are living life only now you became aware of it ......
ReplyDeleteDon't question ... Create answers
Don't be aloof ... Embrace life
It has looooot to give ... n u will fall in love with this jungle too !!!
An adult is insecure. Hence scared and laws of jungle apply to him.
ReplyDeleteWhat has changed?
ReplyDeleteEverything and nothing.
Go figure. :)
There is no answer to that question... :(
ReplyDeleteNice. I like it.
yes sumthin has definitely changed.....is it my delusion.....probably not.....it may b eyes looking at a situation....but interpreted differently "ILLUSION".....d innocence of a kid wud nvr ever see d humanity which is lost (not applied 2 those kids whose childhood has lost due 2 fading humanity).....its just as we grow up outlook changes....n den dis question arises...
