Cost of Adulthood !!


I had the want, but could not.
I had the desire to express, but could not.
I had the need, but express I could not.
I tried my best, but could not.
Expressing was never this difficult,
Words seemed to have failed me.
Is this what it takes to be an adult?


Misplaced is the role of friends,
Left is only the concept of acquaintance.
There can be no amends,
Coz lost is the innocence.
Happiness was never this difficult,
Smiles seemed to have failed me.
Is this what it takes to be an adult?


Rushing towards unknown destination,
Unrealizable is the loss of one’s own soul.
No wonder life is a frustration,
Coz misdirected is the goal.
Search for truth was never this difficult,
Hopes seemed to have failed me.
Is this what it takes to be an adult?

hmmmm.......some real serious thought in here! Really love your perspective and thot! Just because you are an adult does not mean that you have to lose all this, its just that you tend to be like this with only few people in life as opposed to everybody.

"What is an adult?a child blown up by age" ....i do realize that we can no longer have those impish pranks on teachers and friends and silly fights over a single piece of chocolate(did it a lot wid my bro :P)........but once in a while it is good to bring out the child in us and start enjoying life as it comes by!!

seeking to find the veiled message,
behind the written and spoken words,
understanding the deeper meaning,
of the supposedly superficial signs,
this is what it takes to be an adult.

learning who your true friends are,
a gain of this new world of reality,
happiness all the more sweeter,
because of its rarity,
this is what it takes to be an adult.

traveling along this path of life,
discovering your own hidden soul,
cherishing the delightful presents,
hope failed, but renewed each day,
this is what it takes to be an adult.

just a response to your question. :)
