To Myself at 30

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear myself aged 30

Hai and Hi Five


About you, a lot I do hear

And that brings both joy and fear


Maturity is your gift, it's told

Along with being sensible and bold


It's told you bring maturity

It's told you make me sensible


It's told you make my life stable

And

It's told, to fulfill all my dreams, you make me able


While these reasons

are enough to excite

There are few things 

Which bother and give me a fright


First of all,

Are we both similar ?

Or even better, 

How drastically do we differ ?


While change is truly 

The only constant 

From my authentic core

I don't wish to be too distant 


Do you find the fulfillment 

Of my long-cherished dreams ?

Or did you find them to be

Silly childish whims?


Everything changes

I understand, As time flows

So what are now your

Dreams and goals?


Oh, so many questions ! 


Hope you don't mind 

Me putting you through the grill

I just can't hold back

My curiosity and thrill 


Anyways, I trust that 

Whatever you bring is for my best !

Looking forward to meet and 

Merge with you at the earliest !!!

"I AM NOT THAT WOMAN"  -  POEM ANALYSIS Introduction: "I am not that woman" is a feminist poem, written by Kishwar Naheed. As a Indo - Pakistani woman , she has described the plight of women in third world countries in a poignant way.
