The smile on my face is real,
It bears witness to how I feel at the moment. It is for today that I have been sacrificing many a things. The society started labelling me a bad mother, a bad daughter in law. Some going to the extent of even questioning my character. But I braved them all. I know of my own morality. I know of my dreams and sacrifices made of those dreams for the family and the fear of what will people say.
But today, as I break one more barrier I smile. The smile that brightens my face, stretches on my mauve tainted lips. My skin glows, not so much from the hardly there used makeup but from the shine of the hard earned efforts that I had put in the past few years to reach here today. But my smile somehow did not reach my eyes. My eyes still held on to the dreams that are yet to be fulfilled. This, today, the achievement, the claps are not what I dream of. They are just a small stepping stone. I have to hasten so that I can fulfill my dream before the time of my existence ends. The time of existence.... I know not how much that is left, because Death never wrote a letter announcing his merry arrival. But I know he is somewhere around the corner. And Fate.. what do I tell of her !! She is the jealous girl best friend who just can't see you move ahead. She with all her tantrums and emotional drama makes you feel guilty of your what you do. Sighhhh !!! Ya I can't tackle her. She somehow manages to get on my nerves and inside my head muttering and making sure I fall. But I will rise every time and be on the road again stronger than before. Na I am not going to tease her though. Hope you learn to be persistent like me, resilient and somewhere like a fool to still embark to the never taken journey. I believe only a fool would reach heights and dreams without a care in the world. A bit selfish too maybe coz at the end you will need to sacrifice things that society expects you put others before you. Don't fall in that trap. Just move ahead and be capable of more that what everyone seems you to be. Also Live Life as it comes once.
