My Dream Room

This is how my life works, this is what always happens to me.

I want my dream room
To be coloured black, red and white;
But my Dad says not to use colours too bright.
He wants it to be painted light blue or green hue
But how do I make him understand-
"My age and opinion, are not like you!"

I want my dream room
To be both cheerful and alive;
Which would always encourage me,
To go ahead in life.
Photos of my idols and friends
Is what I want to put up;
But my Dad says-
"On your walls, you're not allowed anything to stick up!"

I want my dream room
To have curtains of colours red and black;
But my Mom says-
"A soothing effect does light coloured curtains have!"

To whatever I say,
There's always an objection;
There's always someone or the other
To put an end to my expectations.

But now I surrender my room
To be designed according to my family;
Cause its time for me
Not to make demands silly.
For now I know that understanding
Is something which is needed forever-
To bind my family together,
Happily ever after.

The poem begins with a youthful assertion and ends on a mature understanding,having seen that a room is part of a larger home.

The choice of the three colours resonates with the three 'gunas' - tamas,rajas and sattwa - which added another depth and level to the poem

A really nice poem. I too am going through the same phase of life as you are and I understand your concerns.
Yeah, we really need to put our family before ourselves.

Your words are true.
"But now I surrender my room

In real life. Need home for the family, not for our needs. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Your poem is really intersting. Subject that you choose is different and difficult to express in such short words.you express your feelings very smoothly. I really like it. Love it. Keep writing.
