Poem: I Generally Really feel

By Dr. Archan Mehta

I generally really feel

Like I don’t bear in mind

My very own identify, the place

I’m from, what

I’m doing right here,

And even the place I’m going.

I meet associates and 

Relations on the streets,

Or inside their houses,

Or inside my own residence,

Or at different occasions or venues,

However I can’t recall their names.

I enter rooms

All of a sudden, however depart

In a jiffy

As a result of I don’t 

Know why I’m there.

Within the meantime,

I want to claim

That the scent of

Chemistry labs makes

Me need to puke.

I don’t need

To dissect pregnant frogs

So I can attend medical college

And grow to be a well-known Physician.

As well as,

The stench of relaxation rooms

Makes me really feel like crying.

I can’t battle again

My tears if I

Run into an unsightly child.

Each time I catch

An grownup speaking tall

Or telling a bit of, white lie,

I really feel like working

Away to the closest

Therapist or hill station

Or godforsaken island

The place I do know I’ll

Be left alone to stew

In my very own juice and

Neglect about my troubles.

I really feel nauseated when

I unintentionally bump

Into crooked attorneys:

In spite of everything, they’ve a

Tendency to twist the reality

Like prize fighters twist

The necks of opponents

Or chew off their ears

In a fight-to-the-finish contest.

I really feel like it’s

Tough for me to breathe

Within the presence of bureaucrats:

Bureaucrats suffocate me

By demanding infinite paperwork

And documentation and signatures,

Which ought to have been

Streamlined ages in the past.

I’m fearful of robots

And devices and machines

As a result of I can’t determine them out.

I seek for the closest

Exit when folks in

Overseas lands mistakenly

Assume that I’m a 

Laptop geek

Math wizard

Spelling bee genius

And academically gifted

However devoid of a persona

And management qualities

Simply because I’m of

Asian descent and, extra

Particularly, as a result of 

I’m from India.

I sprout wings and fly

Away like a fowl

Within the huge, open sky

To keep away from individuals who

Cry uncontrollably in

Entrance of me or who

Blame me for his or her anger

After which throw mood tantrums:

I could be their sounding board

However don’t benefit from the prospect

Of victimhood for his or her displaced

Anger and unresolved points.

I suppose I’m additionally

Sick and uninterested in

Relationship girls who

Name consideration to themselves

And disturb the peace

In public locations even

Once they know that

Is in opposition to the regulation. Though

It’s higher to speak in hushed

Whispers, be thoughtful

Of different patrons, I suppose

They love being the middle

Of consideration and get a kick

Out of demonstrating

Rebellious habits. I can’t

Let you know what number of occasions

Safety guards and bouncers

And managers and supervisors

And waiters have needed to 

Intervene and rescue me

From relationships and 

Friendships which

Have dissolved or gone south.

Additionally it is true that

I’m sick and drained

Of getting to place up

With bosses who’re

Mediocre managers

And leaders as a result of

They play favorites,

Can’t self-discipline subordinates,

Sleep with the enemy,

Worship any fool who

Has energy and affect

And refuse to hear

To your aspect of the

Story with empathy.

Such bosses create

A hostile working atmosphere,

Can’t lead by instance,

Interact often in

Unethical practices,

And break the sagging

Popularity of the group.

Subsequently, I lock myself

Away in a personal room so

That I can keep away

From society and create

Poems like these to

Make clear the

State of our universe,

Mild readers.
