"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." - Mahatma Gandhi


I am alone in the sea of life,
Trying to float above pain and misery.

My life has become the one of others,
Who try to imprison my in a cell of "success".

They attempt to mold me,
But they fail.

They cannot understand
that their pressure will not prevail.

I wish to be myself.
And the sea of life, sail.

This poem is about the pressure my parents and teachers put on me, trying to make me become what I do not wish to.
