ADIEU

It is all over,

I need to go.

I know you can take care of yourself

Or should I say there are people who can take care of you.

I was just an addiction for you,

To give you company in times of loneliness,

To be a shoulder you could cry on,

To be a person you could talk to when you are alone.

Now, I know you don’t need me.

I know you will be hurt if I go away,

But nothing in this world is permanent.

You have to get over with this addiction.

You will always have people around you to take care of you,

And soon I will fade out from your life and your memory.

I know I have to walk my path alone,

Which I will definitely do,

Sometimes, I guess most of the time,

I enjoy this solitude.

I know you are not aware of my loneliness,

But I have no complaints against you.

It was my mistake to think everything in this world is permanent.

The happiness I was living in was just a moment and now it has passed,

Now the change has come in,

I once feared change

Until I saw the most beautiful butterfly

Has undergone metamorphosis.

May be this change is also for our betterment.

BE THE CHANGE?????

 “Why can’t you?”

I can’t and I don’t want to actually.

“You are hopeless”

Yes I am and I can’t help it.

Why should I always do what others do?

I am not like liquid who can take up the shape of your desire.

I am solid, and I have already shaped up my desire.

I don’t need to follow your instructions

“You will never succeed”

Hmmm….so what if I don’t?

Everyone is not born to become Bill gates or Einstein,

By the way even they were hopeless once,

So you never know.

“Come on, time is running out.”

I hate to run.

I am not an ass who is born to bore others luggage on his back,

In my case it’s the desire that’s heaped on my shoulder

And you want me to live with it.

I can’t walk with this bunch on my shoulder,

remove this and you will see me speeding up.

“You should have learned this long time back, you are still struggling”

I have my own pace and I will learn it with that pace only.

No need to worry.

You want me to learn everything in a day,

I am no Vivekananda.

“You are an idiot, a fool.”

Sorry, I don’t belong to the intellectual class.

I take time to learn, I take time to understand

even the simplest thing on earth.

I can’t think in the straight way people does.

The wiring in my mind is very complicated and twisted,

It takes time to catch signals.

I forget things before I could even remember it.

Sorry that I have failed to live up to your expectations,

I can’t be the change you want to see in me.
