ANXIOUS MIND

a tribute to my friend..

I remember that day
Which still shakes my head,
My feet starts trembling
And I go insane and mad.....

I desired to be an engineer
With my dreams over the edge
Unfortunately my family pushed me somewhere else
Saying,"that's not right young lad...''

Nightmares are very dreadful
With a common theme of a man in chains
More correctly he's a boy in uniform
Who killed his aspiration just for his surname....

Longed for sympathy
I consulted my friends
But they appeared more sophisticated
Whose comments and advises didn't end.....

So, today I don't want an admiration
With a fear of being exposed
Burnt my ambition within
Alone I stood, Yet I'm forced....

Living my life as a debt

Because I've some duties to take
Buried my wants inside
Just for my parents sake......

I can definitely relate with this poem! Couldn't have written it better! Great job!

And that ladies and gentlemen is a very hard situation to be in.

Sorry for pointing out the obvious but the way you described it

the way you placed your character

the more I sympathized with him.

I have felt nothing but heartbreak when I read this because of a lot of reasons one is that I also aim to be an engineer and reading someone with the same dream as me in so much pain brings me sadness.

A powerful line in your poem that I love is this:
More correctly he's a boy in uniform
Who killed his aspiration just for his surname....

This line clearly sums it up. And I must shut up now for if I continue you might not hear the end of my praises. This will end up in my library, well done.

I'm glad I decided to read this piece of yours when I decided to check out the person whom's friend request I had just approved.

Thank you :)

I love the meaning behind this. How chained some children can feel by their patents control over their life. At the end of the day it's your life and you have one chance to make it what you want it to be. Nicely expressed and written.
