What They Want Poem by Suryendu Chaudhury

Bound within limits and bonds,
Do you think you aspire?
You have the zeal, you have the fire,
But it is still what they want.

Expectations catch hold of your dreams,
You let them flow down the stream,
You know your success defines them,
You remain but just behind a name!

You hesitate, those dilemmas, those...
Your passion turns to ashes,
You burn with desire,
They provide you with their fire.

You rise every hour,
You prove ways to prove it your own,
Still you sink,
Every time they wink.

Were you born for this?
That you have their lives to live,
Why heed to what they want?
It's your life, make it large!
