I wish you had stopped me from growing up Ma..
I wish you had burst my bubble
I wish you had warned me Ma
to never ever leave your cradle

My mornings were clear
every dawn the sun rose for me
'monsters under the bed' was my only fear
a good-night kiss on my forehead would set me free

Be it a crowded station..
or a flooded mart..
Losing your hand was my worst nightmare...
and the one fear which still pierces my heart

Now when i wake up I have to drag my feet
out in the open fake a blissful glee
I keep chasing happiness for another mile
My heart aches and head spins, but Ma.. I always smile

My once adored gestures are now critiqued openly
My frolicking laughter now frowned upon
My once admired innocence is now my incompetency
The 'pinky promises' which were for life.. now shrivels away till the dawn

My biggest fear then was the dark...
now dark is my only snuggle
I wish you had stopped me from growing up Ma..
I wish you had burst my bubble
