《Sitting Under a Torn Umbrella》Burden of Expectation
Advertisement
Burden of expectation is no doubt very weighty,
It destroys aim at life with heavy casualty.
Some ambitious guardians do force their offsprings,
To choose a egregious option for career building.
They do not read the pulse of their children's propensity,
Only have a dream a daydream without having knowledge of profundity.
A student has his own perception,
To ponder over his career best option.
He wants to be a doctor or an engineer,
It is his freedom to make a choice for his future.
But who does listen to whom?
Aspirant guardians stand before them with a boom.
A young learner blooms by his inborn capacity,
No need to lay down any condition for having best quality.
Upon them, very often unscrupulous parents put down heavy pressure,
Driving by the capricious attitude and sudden emotional conjecture.
Being pressurized, the poor chaps oblige to change their option,
And at the last willy-nilly they take the burden of expectation.
As a result what comes later,
A huge frustration, acute depression and even final departure.

Rooms of the Desolate
Rooms of the Desolate is a collection of short stories designed to guide the reader through the many rooms and mysteries of the bleak and greyscale labyrinth of the Desolate. The first entry, "The Forever Tower" follows an unnamed wanderer climbing an endless, colourless tower; the only world they have ever known. As they slowly ascend alongside the masses, they consider the nature of their world and look to the corridors as temptation beckons. The second entry, "Production Line", follows an engineer in a boundless factory, who encounters a product that does not wish to bow to the overseers and makes them question their belief in the truth and duties they were made to believe. Content guidelines: Current entries do not include explicit profanity, but future entries may do so, hence the presence of that tag. Some entries do include gore and violence, though not currently to particularly extreme degrees. The Desolate is exactly that: a desolate world; as such, it is bleak, downtrodden, and may deal with mental struggles. Cover art credit: Adam Borkowski on Pexels.
