#Poem #Poetry Failing to take responsibility

They say you have grown old, you must take more responsibility.

You must toughen yourself & remove all your fragility.

As one generation takes over another, responsibility is also transferred.

These things will happen anyhow, no matter how much you try it to defer.

They say how long you will run away some or other time you need to embrace.

Sanity will only prevail when you consider it as life’s important phase.

Responsibility puts you in boundation & it curtails your liberty.

You no longer remain free soul as you are forced to engage in more daily activity.

Not taking responsibility means people consider you as weaker.

They say- be serious; it is not good to live life as a pleasure seeker.

Responsibility brings lots of baggage, which is sometimes difficult to bear.

It sometimes brings lots of un-nerving thoughts and unnecessary fear.

I never want a life where I am controlled by another person.

This suffocates me & existing situation could get further worsen.

Without responsibility, people will not have a mutual sense of trust.

In order to gain their support, they say living a responsible life is a must.
