Fructification



I was born
I grew
I learnt
and one day everybody said, “look she is mature”
I was confused
because I couldn't see any sign of wisdom
So I kept mum and waited in my own world
One day I noticed a sprout
I noticed
I focused
I examined
that my emotions were reeling and sprawling
I let the sprout grow into fructification
I was surprised
I was happy
I was amazed
And I announced, “At last I am mature”
But now everyone was confused and told me, “Look you are old your wisdom is lost”
I was sad
I was hurt
I was wrong
to say that fructifications are a sign of maturity
So believe the world and agree
Because your wait and claims may become outdated with the passage of time
