As a child I lived my life the way my parents wanted,
After marriage the way my husband wanted,
Society wanted.
I was not perfect but I tried my best with my children,
Try my best to adjust,
Living on the opinions of others.
Now, as I am aging I want to live quietly and alone ,
I don't want anyone to judge me the way I live,
Let me be,
Do what I want to do,
Not do everything the doctor says,
Indulge in eating few things not allowed for me,
In limits,
At least my taste buds are happy.
