Mil

Waheguru
Give me strength to get through these exams
I pray to you
Allow all distubrances

Mil's response
You know me
I respond to it how my small mind allows me to
I am your daughter
So see no need to care

Back in the day
Times were difference
It was absolutism
To bow before the mil

Now I only have one dream
To be with my Maharaj
Everything else is Maya
Pure Maya

Mil needs to be a relativist

There is always one
You gave me your son
I thank you
Please let me pass
Please...

Its not for everyone

Why do u do this to me?
We should not have taken such a step
Maybe we were not cut out for it
Its not for everyone

Physical side
Makes me sad
To know I cannot achieve
What other women can't

How can I devote myself
Maharaj you said it was the one
The one of Guru Gobind Singh

I am the problem
This was not for me

Living in the past

I miss the way it used to be
The way of family
Having my mum
My best friend

Used to get my head down
So quickly
Give me strength
Waheguru

Needing your support
