Daddy’s Little Girl

Yesterday night, I happened to catch up with a very dear but long-lost friend of mine… All thanks to the ‘net’ which is a boon for people like us… (I will someday definitely write something about these technological miracles, we have always looked forward to; which brings us closer to the absent)…

Well, let me cut the crap and come straight to the point. We girls talked about our new lives, colleagues, etc. She continued the conversation with intermittent smiles, completely overshadowing the pain that she was soaked into… The pain of trammeled passions, gravelly life, maladies of existing as a girl… This poem, I write for this sweet darling friend of mine… It talks for her thoughts… It says it all…

Daddy’s Little Girl

Am I not your little girl daddy?
Why have I got to marry so soon?
I keep saying I'm still not ready,
Still you keep finding me a groom...

I have lots to do in my life yet,
I want to be a free bird for now…
Many un-trodden avenues to tread,
Before I become someone's cow...

Why should I not climb the ladder daddy?
Can't I scale farther heights?
Should I stop dreaming already,
And make way for conjoined fights?

I'm barely a twenty-two,
I so very much want to do my MBA…
Want to fulfill my dreams few,
And not entertain strangers with a tea-tray.

Please listen to my inner soul...
The girl inside me is crying.
It’s insane to choose life partners by poll,
To convince you, I'm desperately trying...

Look a little deeper into me,
You will find your baby girl there.
Open your cajoling eyes and see,
I can no longer bear the to-be-groom's stare.

My love for you is immensely deep,
The depth of which you'll never know…
But for now let me climb the mountains steep
And learn enough to stand on my toe.

The windy mountains are calling for me,
The thorny terrains I want to explore,
Let me try and make my own destiny...
Till I find windfalls galore.

Cheer up babes!! You’ll definitely reach the pinnacle of success… Keep smiling. :)
