A fact that I have accepted in my life ,
After suffering from a lot of turmoil and strife ,
I cannot be Everybody for Everybody ,
And if I try , I will become for myself A Nobody!
So many people look at me from different angles ,
For some I am expected to have a career , for others I am expected to mingle,
For some , I am expected to have a family , a house and a car ,
For the remaining ones , I am expected , at this age , to travel far !
Okay , I will satisfy their wishes , and obey them. Do as they say,
But finally when I will do all those things , they will find other faults , dear May.
Then I will keep on perfecting myself to their faults ,
Until one day when I will find that my life has been lost.
I , Sahil here , am a mortal human being,
With few years of life on this planet , that too fast fleeing,
Do I really need to do as others wish and live my life to their perfection,
But then realise that time has passed , and I haven\'t even touched my soul\'s satisfaction?
Or, Or is there an easy way out there? To do what my heart wants,
And make his wishes a reality , no matter other people say or if they fill me up with taunts.
But what if my heart is wrong? A Question that randomly pops up in my mind,
Well, your heart is never wrong , they say , in the book The Alchemist , very kind.
Even in case your heart is wrong , at least something you will have learnt ,
By following other people\'s wishes , you heart will have got burnt.
I am not saying that others are wrong and don\'t know any good for you,
I am just saying that they just haven\'t lived your life for you.
You have different tastes , different expectations from life,
You have a different attitude towards your mom , dad , kids, wife.
You have different perspectives than others regarding the same situation ,
You have different experiences of things , people and relations.
You are gonna die someday , let me remind you ,
You are not gonna carry other people in heaven with you,
Nobody has organised a competition that says the person is a winner ,
Who obeys other people and ignores his own life , or puts his life as Later!
It\'s easy to say , hard to do , you might say this stuff ,
But as you read this realise your life is passing , this fact is rough,
Please realise I don\'t want to make you soft or weak ,
All I want is that you must become in life , just Tough!
It took me decades to realise this ,
And to live my life as I please.
Nobody Cares even if you obey them.
Nobody Cares even if you disobey them.
It\'s all in your mind , dear brother ,
People have their own troubles in life , why for you will they bother?
Are you a celebrity of some sort , because for other people you are always there ,
And even if you are , just get this into your mind , PEOPLE DON\'T CARE!
When you are on the streets out there,
You think people are looking at you from here and there,
But dude they are lost in their own minds,
For they have troubles of very different kinds.
It\'s just that you don\'t have a purpose worth living life for ,
You have attached no meaning to your life , does it strike a chord?
Have a meaning dude, find a meaning dude, whether it is your work ,
A person you love , or your suffering , Nobody gives a fuck.
So have a meaning , this might change your life,
Share this poem with your mom , dad , and wife.
Is it better to become Everybody for Everybody? And Nobody to Yourself?
Or to become Everybody to yourself ? And Nobody for Everybody?
You decide. The life is yours. The choice is yours.
