Someday, I’ll get what I deserve....

Someday, I Will Get What I Deserve
– by Rupesh Ranjan

I left the job, I had a dream,
To chase a light, to let hope gleam.
But fate, it played its cruel part,
And broke my will, and bruised my heart.

My parents’ strength began to fade,
And dreams I held were gently laid
To rest within four walls so small—
No city lights, no classroom call.

I read, I worked, I fought alone,
In silent rooms where hope had grown.
I cleared the test, I reached so far,
But medicals left another scar.

They said my eyes would dim my flight,
That they no longer held the light.
Four jobs were lost to slow decay,
As vision blurred more day by day.

Another time, I topped the sheet,
But missed the date my fate would meet.
The interview came and passed me by,
And I could only wonder why.

The final marks—they told the tale,
I should have passed, but still I fail.
Then one job came, or so I thought,
But in the news—cancelled, forgot.

I cleared so many tests with grace,
But still rejection I would face.
The years went on, the hope grew thin,
Yet I refused to break within.

Now I survive with lesser pay,
A job that keeps the night at bay.
But no one sees the wars I fight,
Or knows my soul still burns so bright.

They doubt my worth, they cannot see
The fire that still resides in me.
Yet through the pain, I look above,
And whisper still—I will be loved.

For God is just, though time is blind,
And someday fate will turn more kind.
Though life is cruel, I still believe—
Someday, I’ll get what I deserve.
