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.
