Don’t take it as GRANTED

 Don’t take it as "GRANTED"

1/

• I am not for granted

• I too expected some tenderness

• Showing my fondness

• Does not mean I am sick

• Don’t take it as granted

2/

• I can stay in unescorted

• But our memories mingle in my vision

• The good times we had

• But those are now nightmare

• Because you have forgotten to sleep

3/ 

• Deep in my heart 

• I mistake dreams as reality

• For you I am just nothing

• I too seems ok for that

• But still want to be your friend

4/

• But don’t take that as granted

• I am no more the coltish girl

• So wake up from your day-dream

• Steel for steel, diamond for diamond

• This is my law now

5/

• I will leave no stone unturned

• To show how I feel for you

• But don’t take that as granted

• Coz I can throw the same stone 

• When you disregard me

6/

• We all have changed with time

• You are a maid now

• That licks the shoe of fame and money

• And I am two-faced

• Amiable  and self-protective.

                      A poem  shows the  betrayal of a friend . The author expresses how she takes friendship and how her friend takes friendship. She does everything for her friend. But her friend takes her friendship for granted. Her friend ignores and  disrespects her. For her friend she is nothing. Her friend runs after money and fame, paying the back to her. But she is not an ordinary girl who accepts being ignored. She gives them threats and says  that she is not afraid of being alone. She knows how to treat people. She is no more the slave of emotion , feeling and greed. She is not for granted.
