Hey there, child.
Arpitha Oct 2018
Ever felt that careless laugh of a child?
Who has no worries and
only finds happiness in everything they do.
There is this naughty child hiding inside each one of us,
Who just wants to laugh out real loud.
Whenever I listen to a child laugh,
All I would see is how truly happy she is and
has no fear or hate to hide behind that laugh.
All of what you see is real.
Just that real happiness which has no boundaries.
Yes, we all want to be that.
A child.
But here, right here our mind is trapped in troubled souls,
filled only with regrets of past and worries about the future.
All we do is worry.
This child here, within us has to and will come out someday.
But for how long will it last?
I dont think this childishness would even last a minute in this world.
How I wish we knew nothing about the world.
About how mean it is.
This child I see has no clue about his future.
About what's on the plate for him.
Not a bit.
He enjoys every moment of his life till he starts understanding.
Yes, that's the word that traps all of us,
understanding.
Let us just try to be out of this trap already?
Let's go back to being a child.
A clueless child.

Huh maybe
my favourite music will always be your voice
with all those songs in my heart
beautiful only because it was your voice
why don't we just get away from here?
from this town?

some place where we find no people
but only us together
maybe finding our own tune
you, for all your stories and music
me, for dance and art
oh! how differently similar are we
only if you have this a thought?
maybe.
oh! no idea when this maybe would turn into a reality.

— The End —
