i know we are having family problem

I know we don't have much money

I know i should understand you more

But why i should always be the one to sacrifice

When i am just too young to do those

You should know how many time

I had killed my desire since childhood

I am trying to be happy with what i have

I am trying to be as understanding as possible

But why you always talk about debt

You know what , this debt is very heavy

That now i am not able to walk

Everyone around me is carrying diamond

While i am here clutching coal

Even then i never desire even a single piece of that diamond that everyone have

Because i dont want to make you worry

But why ! Just why you always remind me of debt

I know you are doing everything for my own good

And i have never blamed you

But why the one who act like a brat get everything they desire

And the one who try to act mature get scolding and coal

I am trying to act as a responsible person

So, again i am chocking my desire

Cause i don't want to be in debt
