Suffocated Poem by Vaishnavi Pandey

Kim Tan from 'The Heirs' said - 'The one who wears the crown, bears the crown' Sometimes the weight of the crown one wears gets so heavy from responsibilities that it becomes unbearable. That's when Suffocation steps in- when you feel like giving up everything but you just can't. 'Suffocated'' brings out the voice of people who are forced to do something they don't want to, be it a student who is forced to choose a profession from the 'Dignified' jobs or a deprived child forced to let go of his dreams because he can't afford it. Parents who pass on their dreams to their children thinking that the child is bound to fulfill their incomplete desires don't realise how they are killing the dreams of their child just like their own dreams were killed somehow. I hope this poem brings out a new realisation in people so that they can empathize with the victims and maybe, help save someone's dreams
