Where did I go wrong ?

Where did I go wrong ?
I studied relentlessly to become a doctor,
where did I go wrong?
I took up a job, that too a government job.
Is this where I went wrong?
I worked sincerely, ….then……
where did I go wrong?
I refused to pay bribes when I got promoted.
Where did I go wrong?
I worked my heart out, efficiently and silently, I refused to bent to pressures.
Where did I go wrong?
They took away all my authority one by one, they disrobed me.
Where did I go wrong?


They tried to shame me, I didnt break.
Where did I go wrong?
They insulted me, abused me, they tried my patience, I stood firm.
Where did I go wrong?
They still deny me me justice, delays are the norm here. Where did I go wrong?


Now I know, I was always wrong.
I was not meant to be amongst them, I was different. I was the wrong person at the wrong place, They didnt deserve me.
I should never have been here….yet I worked here accepting things as they came….. I  realized this too late …. I was wrong….I was wrong……. I was always wrong.

  1. They feel it is their right to prove us wrong! People like us, the sincere ones, are in every field and they are wronged & tortured! What does not leave us, the honest ones, is our self-esteem and self-respect!
