The Kid in Me

I was supposed to belong and conform to a "clan" 
The kid in me let me "be" with a different plan

They told me innocence is dreadful and magic a hoax
The kid in me let me feel the enchantment the cosmos evokes

They told me logic is the only way
And emotion to be a weapon
The kid in me let me fall for the smile of flowers
And told me curiosity is a force to reckon

They told me knowledge is property
And mind a closed chamber
The kid in me let me fly in the openness of timeless wisdom
And told me imagination is a glorious saber

They told me creativity is a mechanical pawn
And dreams to be a fool's journal
The kid in me let me shine in the resplendence of thoughts 
And told me dreams are divine and eternal 

I was supposed to adhere to the dictated "normal"
The kid in me let me carve my own and be exceptional

About Me

My photo
As a blogger, one of the things I am often asked is "How/ When did you get started with all this?" For as long as my memory takes me back, I have always found myself pondering about a plethora of things. I have always loved reflecting on the small but wonderful aspects of life. Ipsita Contemplates has been very special and I love to get the opportunity to share my musings, my thoughts, and my perceptions with you. It is also a way to appreciate the essence of Life!
