Yes, this was me
This Was Long Ago, Me
A girl who wants all love and care.
A girl who was not scared.
A girl with all the happiness,
roming around in joyfulness.
Yes, this was me.
A girl who was jealous.
A girl who wants everything
which was given to her sibling.
Yes, this was me.
When she went to her hometown,
her grandfather used to irritate her.
He used to make her sit upon the tree,
as he only knew she was scared of the trees.
He was the best person,
to whom I used to tell everything.
Yes, this was me.
She was always excited for her birthday,
got many blessings.
But the only thing she was waiting for was her gifts.
If barbie wasn’t a doll,
Maybe her tears wouldn’t fall.
Yes, this was me.
It wasn’t a barbie,
but a cute dog.
She cried for four days
But was then satisfied.
Her childhood was nostalgic.
Yes, this was me.
