What Can I Do
Sometimes I feel I don’t belong to this society;
Since long people guided to be happy must belong
to a society; it’s true desire to be a part of something
bigger is our innate need, they say we’re social animals.
Like others, I couldn’t consider myself as a part of them;
Failed to adopt their likings, tastes, goals, aspirations;
I know my so called friends group call me a ‘Misfit’.
Their all time chasing for fame, so called success
is meaningless to me; it’s so disappointing.
Makes me to think what I’m doing with them;
Probably their calling me as misfit is correct.
My love, passion for simple way of life, they tease;
It’s painful, spent sleepless nights on their criticisms.
Took time but developed courage to ignore what they think.
What can I do now I’m always sensitive to
emotions of other people; for my friends it’s waste of time.
but watching the peoples’ anguish I feel upset, I get involved
to do whatever possible to do in my own way.
Don’t know if there’s something wrong with me
Questioned my own steps and decided ignore their criticisms;
rather concentrate on my passion to fulfil my purpose.
How it matters who likes, hope my sincere work will be of some help.
What's important, to do what I love to do, gives immense happiness.
I am confident HE is watching me always for trying to do
my best and of course with no expectation from anyone.
