They Tell Me, I Am Totally Wrong. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

A teenager once complained:
As a child, I wanted to be cuddled
and kissed by my dear ones.
But they gave me toys.

I looked for the company of people
and they made me sit in front of the TV.

I was looking for friendship
and they gave me money.

I was looking for love,
I was offered sex.

I asked questions
nobody answered it.

I started to think,
but no one accepted my thinking.
I began to doubt and expressed my doubts. They simply fooled me.

I searched for my own way
and shaped my thoughts
to find an answer to my doubts.

Now I think I found my way in life
and they tell me I am totally wrong.
