You could be a writer, but your writeups never left the pages of your diary hidden in your shelf. The paintbrush locked in a box still regret that you went abroad to study law. Only the walls of the bathroom know how good a singer you are. The basketball court in your compound still misses the sound of your footsteps. Your dslr doesn't like it very much here insdie your cupboard, it again wants to go back on long walks with you.

You could have done it all, you could have excelled in your passions. But you chose not to. Maybe it was because of the reasons that had left you with no choice. But did you fight hard for it?

Why did you leave them? You look too boring in your medical coat. The corridor of your engineering college doesn't want to hear you sing. You can't even paint on the walls of your hostel room. How long will you keep your poems hidden on the last page of your notebook.

And again i would ask, why did you leave what you love doing the most.

Was it the happiness of your parents

I'm sure they wouldn't be happy to know your grades of the last two semesters. They would rather see you sing on the streets and smile. They would love to see you happy. All parents want their children to be happy, maybe the choices that they make for you are wrong, but there intentions aren't.

Or was it the society

Because they still think that the college you go to isn't good enough. They still ask your parent why didn't you go to iit. Do they still call you and ask about your grades? Know one thing my friend, you can never keep your society satisfied, no matter what heights you reach in life.

Or was it for love

How do you even call it love when it doesn't even let you bloom. They kept telling you that you're not good enough, have you ever considered maybe for once they weren't good enough for you? Because love can never hinder your growth. Love only wants to see you shine brighter.

I've asked you enough questions and i have given you enough reasons to hold on to what you love, and it's time for me to go now. Now it's time for you to ask yourself these questions. And It's time for you to find answers to these questions.
