What was his problem??
What was his problem?
He never did anything below the belt in this world.
What was his problem?
He never looked at a girl with the wrong sense of commitment.
What was his problem?
Looking at every possible thing in life
and trying to enjoy it,
even when he was suffering deep inside.
What was his problem?
When he was told he should be perfect for society,
he tried his best to be.
What was his problem?
When his crying was made of pain, suffering,
and the enormous burden of pressure
he carried in every drop of blood in his body.
What was his problem?
Defining every piece of passion he felt
to buy some respect to show in society.
What was his problem?
Working hard for his parents,
not just to make them proud,
but so they could show him off
and make the relatives feel like the lower ones.
What was his problem?
He never showed the face of their only son to the parents again.
But the problem was… they never craved for it.
What was his problem?
He wanted that the world should read this all,
when the note will be in the hand of a policeman
who will have some empathy in his eyes
to talk to the family and ask his father, his mother,
some questions about himself
that would make him feel alive again
even though his soul was dead before he committed suicide.
What was his problem?
He never wanted to be in this world,
but he had to, just because after the death
he knew what will be the best conclusion of death he will receive.
It could either be hell
or his rebirth again in that family.
What was his problem?
Even when he was found
happily hanging from the fan,
the parents said,
“We don’t know what was his problem.”
