When and Now!

When I was young, I had 3 friends with whom I roamed around in the school

When I was home, I played with my sisters and neighbours kids.

When I was doing nothing, my mom was present to shoo me to go “do something”

When I did something, my dad laughed at me being very “mechanic”

When I was writing exams, I couldn’t remember the answers (even otherwise)

When the results were to come, I cried the nights dreaming I would “fail”

Now that I am old (enough), I have 450 friends on Facebook and 25 following me on Instagram.

Now that I can share what I do and feel, I get 15 likes on an average

Now that I am home, it doesn’t feel like.

Now when I am doing something, I feel I don’t have to.

Now when I am doing nothing, I have my phone flipping with pages

Now that I have someone, I feel alone

Now that I am alone, I still feel alone.
