Analysis of Growing up
Subhashree Sahoo 2002 (Cuttack)
From holding my father's hand
To holding my family's responsibility
I grew up.
From drowning into the
Insecurity of being dusky
To putting my head upright
I grew up.
From saying yes to everyone
Just to be nice
To putting my opinion twice and thrice
I grew up.
From being tired of the reiteration
You are not enough
To being the voice
I am more than enough
I grew up.
It's not the count of age
It's the courage
I am growing up.
