Journey from innocence to maturity

Sitting in a dark room, feeling sad and lonely, i felt some shadows moving in my mind. with a flash i found those shadows becoming clearer and clearer. and it didn't take me long to recognizes those shadows. yes it was me. 'MY CHILDHOOD'. when i was as pure as an angel, as pretty as an angel  and as innocent as a chirping sparrow. When my mischievous attitude spread laughter around as the sweet fragrance of rose. when i was free  from all the anxiety's and worries of life an ran behind the beautiful coloured butterfly considering it the most precious thing of the world. when i was ignorant of the harsh realities of life and thought it a bed of beautiful roses. when giving and taking love from others was best achievement for me. it was the time, when I was what I was!!!

                                                 'OH! PLEASANAT PLEASANT WERE THE DAYS'

But now i could feel myself changed a lot. the purity of my soul was lost somewhere in the dark forest. my innocent mind now contained devilish ideas. i felt that all the anxieties and worries of life are chasing me. and slowly slowly i realized that life is not a bed of beautiful roses, in fact it is a bed of wild shrubs. my sweet smile now had hate and jealousy hidden behind it. my pretty face wore different masks. i tried to hide my fakness by wearing more and more masks and became more ugly. and now standng in-front of a mirror i am disgusted by my own appearance. my haunted thoughts questioning me 'What has happen to you?'.  i think for a moment and then reply calmly 'Yes i have gained  maturity'....
