Thou shall not expect

It's expectations that makes one go weak on the knees.
Learning not to expect much, be it from life or relationships;
An art that is though way too difficult to master,
Will make ones happiness truly independent!

Change

One step at a time, as I grow;
So many changes, So much learning;
Each phase of life - the gained the lost;
Yet another change - A big, big one !
As I'm bracing myself for the whirlwind to come,
I realise that things are never going to be the same.
No more protective coziness my home,
Away from the unmatchable parental love - A heart wrenching distance,
A change in "I do whatever I want" attitude,
Can no longer say - No liabilities,
New relationships, New responsibilities;
Can I ?- Am I that grown up?
More questions and no answers - but one thing is written;
Things are never going to be the same - for the good or bad, lies with me!
