Death Note

This is a carefully thought action not taken in despair
No one to blame but destiny that is not always fair

Unable to break free from the societal norm
Against my wishes but I have to conform

If wishes were horses beggars would readily ride
Wishes are not horses and begging hurts my pride

My outwardly success to you it may not reveal
But believe me it has been a ride pretty uphill

I know I am not alone, I am part of a big herd
Out of love or respect struggling to have the last word

In this life I am no master of my free will
Wishes of so many I am obliged to fulfill

They have sacrificed so much for my educational bill
I have no option but to excel in acquiring earning skill

I am torn between responsibilities and carpe diem
To me it seems to be a far  utopian theme

My waking life has become a woeful nightmare
But sleep is filled with dreams of all that I wish and care

Finally mustered the courage to end this nightmare
Sleeping forever to the dreamland of fun & fair
