Complaints

when i was a child, 
i used to complain.
about so much noise in the house
caused by so many family members, 
about the guests,
arriving after every couple of days..
and i considered it pain.

i complained about my friends.
who would call me 
in d middle of nights, , 
n used to talk for hours.

they would finish all the balance, 
and disturbed my sleep
which i didnt like at all
and i complained and weeped.

I didnt like my friends, 
who guided me to different way..
which they considered right, 
and i told them i wanted space by anyways

i prayed to god to finish all this, , 
and wished for lil more silence and space.
where i should be alone, 
and no one to disturb.
and i considered it a bliss.

but when my wish came true, 
all i was left with.
silence and darkness.
where i was left with nobody around me.
to love and caress.

i have balance, 
but no one to talk for hours.
i have money, 
but no one to spend with.

nobody is there 
to fight with me, 
to guide me
they have given me the so called ''space''
and i am left with nothing but
loneliness
i wish i get everything back again..
and now, 
m complaining again!

now i wish
that things wouldnt have changed..
please somebody bring that old time back, 
and i promise, 
i wont complaint again!

Yes! I still use to complain about the noise my younger ones love to make. But I don't want them to leave me, they are my family and love them. Now, your poem reminds me of the saying " Those that want don't get, those that get don't want" Very nice poem, Teena.
