Donkey



I have no clue how the label came about, but as soon as I was old enough to sense the world around me, I realized whatever I do, I will be known as stupid.

I, and my folks, are thought of as fools for no reason. We are hardworking, carrying loads from one place to another, but do we ever get credit?

I love singing. Once I hummed a melody, and was beaten up by sticks. I fled.

I never sang again.

Our dreams are broken, and yet we live, for the world. Don't we deserve a little respect?

  2. Is this part of a larger book you are writing or purely flash or micro fiction? Great job, btw! I would love to do some micro-fiction, but I keep thinking of ideas for new full-length novels!!

  10. This reminded me one incident...
    As a child, when I used to practice singing and violin, neighbors used to tease.
    So i stopped pursuing it
    And I regret till date!
