Life Lesson

When you hired and then quickly fired me

I didn't look tired

Not because I was wired not to worry

Because I knew everything is just temporary 

When you used violence against my silence, 

I still showed patience

Not because I was weak and helpless

Because unlike you I wasn't senseless 

When my voice got curbed by your noise

I did not oppose

Not because I was a scared chicken

Because I had just learnt to stick to my life lesson

When you caused me pain and rejected me with disdain

I did not complain

Not because I was a voiceless object

Because I knew how to shape my conduct

When you forsook me and threw me as a useless book

I was not shook

Not because I had drained all my tears

Because I had transcended the barrier of all my fears
