Yesterdays might have crumbled me, <br />For I was soaked in the unknown medium, <br />To burst open my ignorantly rigid shell, <br />Today is very different, as I pierce through the earth, <br />The legs are getting longer to keep my feet rooted, <br />Thousands of shades of winking greens, <br />Every ray of the celestial sun should be seduced, <br />To glitter my layers of skin with sparkling wines, <br />The sweat from your body has to escape, <br />To nourish my desire to see you in good clothes, <br />Devoid of the pungently fermented illusions, <br />That is fitted with colorful buttons of harmless lies, <br />Embrace the hopeful thoughts to live and love today.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/growing-up-14/
