A Whole New World

A bird out of her nest…
The cosiness, the warmth
Somwhere it is left…
For now she is out in the sky
Learning to abide by
The new rules of life…

A new pair of wings
A dive and a swing
And she sways with the air
Completely unaware
Of this pleasant seaming world outside
Which had been in her dreams
Which she saw form the inside
Of her nest…
That security, the protection is gone
All she is left with is this unrest
Of making attempts to survive
In this world of dreams
Which demands her to fight…
Fight her way through the rest
As now she no more is in her nest
And the cosiness, the warmth
Somewhere it is left…

It all seemed so easy
The nest so warm and yet breezy
But now the meanings have changed
The weather no more seems to be the same
The sunlight’s warmth has turned into heat
And rain into storms that try to beat
her passion, her strength
To be yet again able to strike
On her target perfectly right.
But she ain’t weak so as to bow
To these storms and allow
Them to take over her dreams…
The sky no more seems to be blue
And nor is the grass green…
The true colours of the world
Aren’t a pleasant scene
But these are the rules for her to abide
With only a virtual support by her side
Now that she is out of her nest
The cosiness, the warmth,
Somewhere it is left…

Resting in God's lap, I was enjoying the heaven
When suddenly I was told to leave.
I thought I was being sent to some prison,
But what I saw on opening my eyes was hard to believe...
The face of an angel with tears in her eyes,
And people all around her bubbling with joy...
Scared to be among strange faces
I let out a cry,
Your arms around me I felt all of a sudden
And it was then I knew it was more comforting than heaven...

The language I knew was not familier to all,
But you could look into my eyes and know it all...
My needs you knew without a word,
My silence you understood,
When no one in this world could...
I held your finger and took the first step,
Unaware of what lay ahead,
But your presence made all my fears disappear,
And the blurred visions became clear...

My identity to me was given by you,
They told me I was but a part of you...
My name they said was given by you,
'Mother' - they said mine were you...
The pride of being born to you,
I have felt since the day I have known you...

I stepped into a new age,
leaving behind those golden days...
Every step I took ahead,
Reminded me of what I had left...
Our dreams, I thought was what I was trying to persue,
But in this struggle, I somewhere lost me and you...
The distance we travelled together to get me here,
Doesn't allow me to turn back and again be there...
Doesn't allow me to rest in your lap anymore,
And success now tastes bitter than failure...
For though I have moved up on the ladder,
It has only left me sadder...
The happiness of seeing that smile on your face
and the brightness in your eyes,
Is the only force that keeps me alive...
Alive, though a part of me is already dead inside...
For you I walk this path now...
And what seemed heaven has been lost for long now...
And it's the prison where I live now...
It's the prison where I live now...
