My thunder shall not be stolen..

There are times when I simply let it go

Let someone steal my thunder, and throw

Everything I have worked hard for under the bus

I don’t want to be perceived as creating a fuss

By asking for credit, I just hope some day

Karma would let due recognition come my way…

*

There are times when it hurts me more

To be sidelined, disregarded or ignored

I hate to think there is any bias at play

But may be I simply have not learnt the way

To state my point of view with such confidence

That I make everyone around take notice of my presence..

But I am not that person, my opinion I do not

State loudly or readily, without giving it much thought

I fear even Karma would not support me

Because I don’t support myself adequately..

*

Next time someone tries to steal my show

I’ll put up resistance, not let it go

Credit for my work, I shall try to claim

Without trying to assign anyone the blame
