I am six years old
and
I think I was sold
to my parents.
I know the statement is bold
but hold
on a second.
Try to listen
and not hear,
coz I can't no longer bear.
My bag is heavy.
No don't think it is the books
I mean here.
These are the hooks
that you keep barking around;
They have filled my bag.
You must score 98,
What ! Only 98;
you should top
the class.
Maybe, you should stop
and look at me.
I am tired
and
I feel like I am wired
to your expectations.
Talk to me or
spare an ear.
I want you to hold
me and
ask me
me and
ask me
What do I want to do?
May be I will get a gold
or maybe fly
across the globe.
It is a slippery slope,
I can slip to the bottom
or go up the rope
Let me have some hope.
I will make you proud
But please don't follow the crowd.
Fill the empty space with
hope and option
like a concoction.
So I don't feel the pain
and put the blame
on you.
