The Perfect Child

By Neha Diwan

I am their perfect child But I still failed

Never got scolded

Never got punished

Had moments to be proud.

What if I made mistake

What if I broke their trust Deep inside I worry

Under the limelight for wrong

I did accidentally

Will they forgive easily? Why they say

the one who before pay

Easily get their way. Strange isn't it?

You want someone

so naive and smart

So obedient and sincere in one.

Yet say enjoy your life and have fun. This perfect child suffers too

They get happily ever after

It's fantasy to be true.
