PUPPET

No one is listening me,

But everyone is ready to play.

I too can speak like you all,

But I am just puppet, that too small.

I wanna live my own life,

Like most, I want to be great.

Some are saying it is not my fate,

Only crime I did is born as puppet.

Since childhood, heard one thing,

World is stage, act on it.

I too can be sharp like knife,

I wanna live my own life.

Everyone is teaching me to make living,

But no one is asking me to live.

All are saying, life is a race,

Wake up, Run, Beat or get beaten.

Since my birth, passed every test.

But no one asked where I am best.

Everyone is running, so as me,

But I don’t know where I’ll be.

Thread of my breath is in someone’s hand,

Can’t do anything, but acting.
