Though they take
my words
my dreams
my tales
my stories
my pains
my sufferings
as mere jokes
yet I told them without hesitation
I told them
I needed time
to own my dreams
I dreamt since childhood time
I needed time
to pursue my desires
which I lost recklessly
so many times
I needed time
to live the way I wanted to live once for last time
I told them
my weakness
my strengths
my shortcomings
my mistakes
yet they ignored my words I heed
I told them
I opened my heart
to get over the tears that stained my pillows overnight
I told them
I don’t need a Prince on horse/
I don’t need a princes dolled up in rose
I told them
I needed time
to reign the power of the lost kingdom of mine
to live the legacy of my life
I told them
to trust my plans
if they didn’t
I still had me to trust in me
and I willingly will lead a simple life
that I make out of my hand
