As a Child

Ranjani Gangadharan posted under PenMuse-68 on 2024-11-21



As a child I wished was to be a grown-up

Enjoying exhilarating delights of freedom

To rule magnanimously over my fiefdom

As a child I wished to be a grown-up

 

Enjoying exhilarating delights if freedom

Unaware of vices in guise of onus

Innocence withered into a gloomy prognosis

Enjoying exhilarating delights of freedom

 

Unaware of vices in guise of onus

Now I yearn for a pristine joys of childhood

Lost in a land faraway from genuine euphoria and good

Unaware of vices in guise of onus

 

As a child I wished was to be a grown-up

Enjoying exhilarating delights of freedom

To rule magnanimously over my fiefdom

As a child I wished to be a grown-up
