THE ATTEMPT......

There I was standing on the highest rock,

the rock, that stood like cherry on top.

I bent a little forward to assess the impact,

the impact, that would instantly end my entire act.

Memories of the past flashed before my eyes,

my eyes could now see all the truth n lies.

Crawling on my fours I raced my chuk-chuk train;

The train sure won and made my knees pain.

Clapping with glee I hugged my little smiling red boy

Oh Boy! How did Daddy know I wanted the same toy?

For me the School was simply a place to have fun;

Only fun and incomplete Notes made Mummy run.

As I grew up, my entire world belonged to my friend(s)

The friends without whom I thought the world would end

Birthdays came and went, and before I knew I turned 18

This 18 -a magic figure with spl. Powers was quite mean

It seemed like I plunged into some cobweb and got stuck

Oh! Stuck I was for transition from a girl to a woman is no luck

Years hence, I saw him in the eye and wanted to ask why?

Why does he often find joy in making me cry?

I loved him like I never loved anyone before

And before I knew he left my heart broken n sore

I wept and wept and wept for we were broken up

Oh! Heart broken I was and desperate for something to cheer me up

There I was standing on the highest rock

The rock that stood like cherry on top

My eyes were now filled with pain n tears of blood

The blood which in next few seconds look like a flood

I closed my eyes and took a deep-deep breath slow

The breath that certainly would be my last one so

Just then I felt something gushed against my body

My body felt a jolt, I opened my eyes n there was nobody

I again bent a little forward to assess the impact

The impact that would instantly end my entire act

I realized if I execute what I was gonna attempt

The attempt will no longer be just an attempt

The train won ‘coz it had wheels and I just crawled

I crawled, I did not try to walk or run and just brawled

Daddy knew it all ‘coz he did know what I wanted

I wanted it badly and I got what I wanted

Mummy would run ‘coz she did care my future

My future thus should credit her for the nurture

I sure made new friends but I also lost few

Few I lost, their feelings for me I didn’t knew

The transition from a girl to a woman was not an easy labour 

Labour it was ‘coz solids have to melt first to become free vapour

My love left me shaken with silence at his opportune

Opportune its is for him 'coz  his life I began to importune

My heart sure sank a little n a chill went up my spine

The spine now erect, body mind n soul now fine

Having learnt my lessons the hard way and growing stronger

The stronger I believed that I gotta live a little longer

To correct my flaws and reciprocate love to my family n friends

Friends without whom I thought this world would end

There I was standing on the highest rock

The rock that stood like cherry on top

I breathed the air one more time to fill my lungs full

Full with inspiration I turned around n walked back home cool..
