“Good, happy family ”

“Brave”

“Always gets good grades”

“Without even studying a single word”

“Lucky girl”

“She’s got the most handsome boy”

“I wish I was her”

“She has no problems in her life”

This is what people think about me


Well

That might seem true.

Unless and until,

You get a chance to live

My life.

I know

I don’t own all the problems in this world.

But that doesn’t mean, I don’t have any.

No human being in this world can survive without problems.


Just because you get my stupid jokes

It doesn’t mean you have got me.

Do you know

The serious fights I have with my mom

Because of her mental disorder.

I am just fed up of explaining to her that no one is abusing her.

Those people just live in their minds, not in reality.

The fact that I haven’t had a proper dialogue with my dad

From the day I was born

Because he didn’t want a girl child.

When others are sleeping and dreaming about

Getting an ‘F’ or ‘A’ grade

I am the one, who is awake, working, to bring those dreams

Into reality.

While everyone enjoys their weekend and goes out for dinner

I stay at home, surrounded by 4 walls 24x7

People out there, who want their life to be like mine

You’re welcome to it!
