Old clothes...

These clothes that I see

Scattered in front of me

Are not just old clothes

But a closet of memories


That brown sweater there

That my mumma made me wear

Belonged to my sister

Who's 14 years older


That white netted skirt and top

With 4 ribbons, adding red pop

Is my most favorite one, to date

I hope it won't return any hate


The sleak and tall velvet gown

Wore it when twas diwali in town

With it, I have a dark fear rested

In it I was shamelessly molested


That pure cotton salwar kameez

I carried it with so much ease

I hear my girls still telling me

You look like the cooling breeze


The yellow t shirt and cargo pants

My tomboy look, minus the brands

Wasn't being comfortable and cool

Just trying to avoid the scary drool


Pink kurta and blue jeans

At CCD we spill the beans

Our dear friends did make sure

You go down on your knees


The simple white saree there

With maroon and gold borders

The attire that adorned me

When I became forever Your's


The heavy lehenga that was reworn

Whilst all the pain I had forgone

Bringing a new life to the world, 

Praying for my little new born


The blue and red jacket here

It kept me warm and worry free

As I fasted 9 days for my soul

Purify mind, body, soul - was my goal


All my dear, dear old clothes

Shaping my life in varied moulds

I am never ever getting rid of you

You're the only ones that stayed true!


Sapna...
