Is It My Fault?

By Karishmadevi K

Is it my fault?

That I was born in this cruel, selfish world

That they say I am a curse to my family because I was born as the 'firstborn daughter'

That I do not know any tactics in the world

That I am emotional about everything

That I find peace when I am alone

That I do not like to pretend something is real when it is not

That I can not sit back and watch someone suffer

That I am very different from others, and that I am called ‘strange’ because of it

That I do not want to follow the way of others

And want to create my own

Does that mean I am a disgrace to culture and tradition?

Is it my fault...
