I Am Changing

Yes, I am changing
For better or worse, I don’t know
But it’s true that I am changing.
 
Yes, I am growing wings
To fly or die, I don’t know
But it’s true that I am changing.
 
Yes, I am rebelling

To be a triumphant or a looser, I don’t know
But it’s true that I am changing.
 
Yes, I am breaking the shackles
To be an altruist or a hedonist, I don’t know
But it’s true that I am changing.
                                  
Anyhow, you don’t worry much!
It’s not complete mutation, it’s just a few changes here and there!
Dear Men, my change is not a bad omen
As it will not impact YOU much!
It will not change the flow of the world
Nothing earth-shaking will happen.
 
I know I am a daughter, a wife and a mother too
But it’s true that I am an INDIVIDUAL too
So for my own sake
It’s true that I am changing.
