The Girl I Know Poem by Evelin Angel

The girl I know

We are family
But we know each other
From our child hood
There was a gap in-between year
Lost all the contacts
Dint want to talk to them too
One fine day it happens
Told that the eldest daughter is …
Coming to our home
Without interest, invited her with hesitation
As she came, I was shock
Oh, what a thin structure
Saw her before, like a chubby
Fairly fairy with long curly hair
Now she is like a starving thin cat
Seeing her I was shocked
Shapeless and fragile and down
Her hand was trembling of weakness
Yet she fights her survival battle
First, I greeted her with Milk
She was so happy to get the milk
Because she hadn't had milk for long time
Then I started to interrogate
About her errands and livelihood
It was a very sad past
Hearing that I decided to keep her
In my home for few days to
Boost her spirits
Whenever I go kitchen, she'll be behind me
Which means I understand her
That she has to be feed
With nutritious food
So, I give her whatever she wants to gulp
She uses to barge me to have
Whatever she wanted to eat and for her siblings
Like a small champ her unceasing chatter
Made me to treat her as child.
Her face saying that her life is a
Storm that never ends…
She blabbered about her mother
Her father and about her sisters
I don't know being the first child
How much agony and ill treatment
Happened to her unimaginable life
Often, she gets unending rings on her phone
At once she gets the ring, she'll fly like a bird
To some other place and chatter like a chatter box
No one can hear her speech on the phone
I am still astonished that how quiet she is speaking.
Whenever she's idle I boost her up saying ….
The world is not ended, still time and energy left
Go fetch a job that she can do
But for my surprise her expectation was high
I never expected from her
Yet I wandered with her to find a job
She was passioned about stitching
I found a place to learn Stitching and she loved it
She had complained lot of things about me to
The tailor teacher. I dint bothered
I was little bit angry when I heard the grumpiness
She has a sister
And she is so so sick
She always complains about her
I hate her when she take her phone
Always keep talking
I don't understand what she talks
Talks to her boyfriend
Friends and family
We use to go for stitching classes
We use to walk together
If I am taking her, I should be pocket full.
Her agony her grief her frustrations
Everything was about her marriage
Always was talked about that
Not even a single day stop talking about her marriage
she blabbered, lamented, frustrated etc.…..
One fine day I was annoyed hearing this type of
Blabbering and lamenting …. I told her to stop
Discussing about her marriage
It will be done in its right time.
Time will give the solutions for all the problem
Then she started crying
All of a sudden, she became a new girl
Entirely different person
All her countenance changed
Her thinking and perceptions towards me also changed
No one can give a comfortable life without hard work
We wander to find her job
But couldn't get according to her standards
Heavy dissappontment ……
I kept boosting her
Encouraging to focus on what she needs to do
Focus on the purpose of life
In a fine day she decided to leave home
Its her decision, no one can say anything
She left.
After few days she barged my husband
To help her in her marriage
She got married to a person who
She chooses for her
Settled down in her home town.
Seeing her I think about the old girl
Who came to our house.
Now she is the queen of her world.
