I told them I was there to learn
and they ask me how much will I earn
I wanted to share the experience it was
and they said it was a losing cause
I followed my passion
and they considered it irrational
I reflected on my experience and interaction every single day
and to them I had lost my way
Amidst all these I earned love and respect
The reasons are unknown and I still introspect
Its fulfilling to remember the miles I covered
its still exciting to remember the truth i discovered
The truth of the real abhijit
for them it might be a waste but for me it is a feat
How difficult it is discover your own self
The word selfish has been associated everytime i have worked on my own self
My whole idea has always been to start the change from me
The transformation is so evident but they still cant see
Great piece of poetry dear:) after a very long time!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! a dilemma reflected in my own life and perhaps in the lives of all others not afraid to follow the roads set by their hearts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Navneet and Ravisha for such wonderful comments
ReplyDelete..... Just discovered ....
In writing as well
Honesty is the best policy
Abhi you write soooo well..you should be a writer. And you can actually write a book on your experiences :)
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling that your talking about..and i am very happy that you have been successful in finding your inner self. You know it doesn't matter if others see it or not. What matters is that you know who you are and what you want and you do what you desire to do. People don't really matter, even if its your family. Because you cannot make your family happy until and unless you are happy.
Thanks Nasreen :)
