Compromise?.....

Why should I compromise?

I compromised with almost everything.

When I was a child-

I thought, I will grow up

And will make my own decisions;

But compromises increase along with me!

When the time came,

To decide about my higher studies

I compromised with my parents,

Influenced by the environment and situation.

The moment I realized I am in love,

A dam of compromises collapsed and ruined my love by the high flow.

I went for my first interview,

I compromised my policies, principles

And even values to get a job.

Now, they asked me to compromise

My life to meet their target!

Why should I???

I may not have money, fame and prestige

But I have one and only life,

To live or to fail;

May I have the privilege to live that life,

In my own way?
