《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.
