Mom,
dad,
You want me to be educated just like Ali,
You want me to behave exactly like Billy,
You want me to be as religious as Alan,
You want me to work hard like Dylan,
You want me to earn money like Alfred,
You want me to be as mature as Fred,
You want me to be this or to be that..
but you forgot that i am Sharvish...
I can't be like others..
Its best to be me because you only know what they are in the outside..
I've become what i've learned from you..
I've become what you are..
I've become what you think is 'worthless'..
Mum,
dad,
Trust me,
Love me the way i am,
then,
i will not have to search for who i am in someone else..
-Sharvish
This is not my story,
maybe its the story of many..
To all the mothers and fathers,
encourage your children in whatever they want to become..
correct them when they ARE wrong..
not when you THINK that they are wrong..
Putting much pressure on your children will make them lose the taste of living..


Mum,dad thanks for loving me the way i am..
I love you :)
