Little Moments

By Samhita Anand

All through my life i've been made to believe

It's the big moments that matter, the epiphanies

So I gave up everything, the people in front of me

In search of something in the future, not believing in destiny

Then past a year in my life

I won everything for which I had strived

And finally I realized I was happy

From a day spent with my friends, not a trophy

I am still ambitious for my life is long

I have places to go, there is nothing wrong

In wanting to conquer the world, wanting to be strong

But that needn't mean giving up love, for strangers to sing my song

Let me explain how I realized,

This isn't one story and cannot be trivialized

It was during my brothers party,my friends company

And through such experiences, my real dreams were no longer fantasy

I have a family, larger than I know

I may not travel but I still have places to go

My live will not be only about payments, agents and garments

But built from those fleeting seconds, those little moments
