A Step

The grass was green and the air was dense
The laughter around seemed like a pretense
Even though she was lonely and in despair
She was determined to make it big there.

The park was filled with children playing
There were couples talking and laughing,
But to her everything seemed so lifeless
Without her loved ones, this was no place.

She could still feel her ma sitting next to her
Saying that the world is a small place to conquer
To always keep smiling is what her father said
But now, those were just memories in her head!

She always wanted to follow her only dream
But even talking about ramps made them grim
The only way to live her dream seemed to runaway
May be her parents will forgive her someday!

She felt the tears rolling down her cheeks
She took a strong step but felt like a meek
She got up & started walking under the fading Sun
She knew that one day she is gonna walk back home.
