My Loyal Follower Poem by Aaryaa Kamdar

My Loyal Follower



Since my birth, I've always had a follower.
From when I started to crawl,
Till the time by which I could stand straight,
This follower never left…

It was always by my side,
In my best times and my worst,
Not wanting to leave me alone,
It loyally stayed to haunt my life
And it's not going to leave anytime soon...

The follower caused fights and found me friends,
It didn't affect my life,
But the attitudes of people in my life,
The follower was never guilty.

It is the reason why I can't have a friend
For more than 1 month,
One moment I feel that I have found someone I can trust,
And the next moment the friend is gone,
And I am stuck with my follower… again...

After 13 years of searching for a loyal friend,
I have realised that my follower is the loyalest friend I can ever have…
It is the reason why, ‘loyalty' was never a part of my destiny…
The only thing in my destiny is my follower… Betrayal...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
"To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal. You see, I could conceive death, but I could not conceive betrayal."
― Malcolm X

This is so true... And my poem is a way of expressing how I have felt in the last few years of my life. It's a trend that keeps on repeating and never stops...
