Who am I without My Parents?

*Who am I without My Parents?*

I had a life to be lived longer

When I was younger,

With my eyes glittering and giggling,

Too innocent to know the reason.

At the span of adolescence,

When I was getting young, my parents slowly slipped to agedness.

Little did I know then

How far (fast) I have to go now.

In my twenties, hardly when I had my graduation done,

I noticed the smile on that face,

Thinking it was for my success,

Not knowing it was the adieu smile.

People rightly say,

A person left with tears in their eyes

Might come for once,

But a person left with a smile on the face

Comes for none.

Left alone in the corner,

A flower which bloomed every single day

Now has lost its charm and its magic,

For now it's dull and ordinary.
