Maa

In this era of fakes and greedy people,
She took care of me like a shell on a beetle.

She kept me nine months inside her womb,
A place where I was formed my initial tomb.

I came out crying seeking for someone mine,
Her touch felt familiar and stopped the time.

I stopped crying at once and I stared at her,
I saw the holy God on her face without a blur.

She taught me how to walk and to say " Maa !",
She sacrificed her enjoyment to make me a star.

I learned how to brush and how to eat my food,
But I don’t know why her hands made it more good.

I learned many things and after years became a teenager,
My talks became less with her and increased on the pager.

I started spending more time with my friends and classmates,
Little did I realize that I was not the only one awake late.

I turned 18 and I was on the cloud nine,
I could do all I ever dreamed ‘cause it was my time.

I started fighting with her on many of my “RIGHTS”!,
Which made me sleep angry and hers were sleepless nights.

Days passed on and I left my home for higher studies,
It made the difference more and lessened the communication ease.

Today when I went to my so called bro to make my problem easy,
He refused me bluntly saying that he was a bit busy.

I broke up completely on this thing and started to cry,
‘Cause I had no one of my known and pockets were fully dry.

Many thoughts ran through my mind and made me realize,
What treasure I had left behind seeking a nonsense prize.

They say there are no strings attached and soulmates are a fake,
I say I have my soulmate whom I love and is my perfect make.

Suddenly my phone rang and it was like meeting the Allah,
The big bold words filled me up as it read “MAA”.
