Who is to be blamed ?

Fuelled by high hopes and aspiration, in the circuit of rat-race

This life is taking directions that I couldn’t trace

I feel embarrassed, when I don’t find time for my kith and kin

After all, they’ve stood by me through thick and thin

Rarely, I care about people who matter to me the most

But each time, I dismiss the thought saying, “Life is too fast”

Beloved ones say I’ve slipped into the habit of claiming petty excuse

I weep to myself, when they go the extent of calling me a recluse

Pushing me hard to progress to the next level, professionally;

Am I detaining myself at each level, personally?

What is all this for?

Who is to be blamed?

I don’t understand;

May be, I don’t want to understand!!!

This life is taking directions that I couldn’t trace!!!
