And yes, I got what badly I once wanted
For what I cried, fear had me haunted
I now wear a black impostor hat
O! I turned into an ungrateful brat
We only crave for what we don't have
We beg God crying, without a laugh
Only when we get, we betray like a rat
O! I turned into an ungrateful brat
I thought I was fairy, 'cause humans make mistakes
I thought, I was pure water, out of all glitched lakes
Only to realise, I have been a human, when I was sat
O! I turned into an ungrateful brat
I now know, I am the lie, I am a lie and Sigh
My eyes aren't now wet in front of God, they're dry
Sinning all the time, my heart became fat
O! I turned into an ungrateful brat

Writing To Succeed
If you want to find something that will help readers find your writing, possibly expand your audience, and maybe even get you noticed for other things, then you’re not alone. But how can you get it done in a world full of want-to-be writers? Look less at what you’re writing now, and more at what other writers have used to boost their views and reads.

Ohhh this was clean and biting in the best way! The refrain “O! I turned into an ungrateful brat” hits like a dramatic Bollywood zoom-in and I loved every second of it 😂 Anyways, dear how have you been doing so far? And really, I’m glad you came back to write over here. It always feels a bit brighter when you do. 🥰💖
This is very moving, a lot of emotion, and it also makes one think deeply!!
Oooo, glitched lakes, I especially loved that. Your poem was so poignant and beautiful. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
