Im gifted and talented in my art But people keep unrealistically positive expectations from me Our society is overly attached to the superficial, All chasing a mirage of happiness and satisfaction There's no harm in being hedonistic.. But it shouldn't come at the expense of someone else Asking for a "compromise",talent is shoved down the barrel Im open with my insecurities, thats why im saying out loud Be it a man or a woman.. You shouldn't make them suppress their anguish And succumb to the pressure.. Respect is not something to be demanded It should be our default mode..

This is a fictional work to spread awareness about the dangers men and women face when they have to climb the ladder of success in their respective fields..This is the truth and it should be out there..
