As I commence my life in my forties
A lot has suddenly changed within me
I am a lot calmer now
And have learned to sail dignified at my own pace
Also, I feel so rooted and grounded today
Looking at the bird’s eye view what I desire and what I don’t
Have become more vocal in expressing my views conclusively
And not bearing it all and sulking
Not that I was not earlier
But I feared hurting the ones I love
And hence I sacrificed, which they never realized
That kindhearted woman is now gone forever
Of course, I am being judged for it
But I now care a damn
Let them criticize, let them form opinions like they always did
I no more care, I am so done
I am now itching to let go off
A lot of baggage that I have carried all through my life
Sitting quietly by the shore for the past week
I have let all that flow away deep into the ocean with the waves
I feel so light now, so full of peace
I have finally accepted myself the way I am
Not trying to get into the mold
Cast to perfection for me by someone else
This acceptance came too late though
But I am so grateful it did
I love my imperfect flawed self
The one full of smiles and passion for life
If you want to love me
Love me the way I am
Otherwise, I am fine
Making the most of my left time
My mantra for life is clear now
I feel I now have no time to waste
I shall only do what I love and what gives me joy
Everyone else, they have to accept my ‘NO’ with a pinch of salt!
