A plea for help.. !

Dear You. Yes you who are reading this. Don't look so puzzled. I know you are wondering why am I addressing this letter to you of all people. Well, because I know that you will listen to what I have to say and help me. Or will at least give a thought about it. Who am I? And why do I need your help? Well, I am just one of you. Or you can say in everyone of you. It's how you perceive me. I am around since years but I die a premature death every year by each one of you to be born again next year. Every year you promise to take care of me, nurture me, hold on to me and pamper me. Instead, you end up neglecting me, avoiding me, make fun of me and eventually forgetting me and letting me slide beneath your fingers like dry sand. None of you have lived upto your promise till now and I'm utterly dissappointed in you after giving you so many chances to prove yourself. I understand I dont play an important role in your life as much as other factors but what bothers me is the fact that you portray me as a significant factor in the beginning by proclaiming your commitment to fullfill me and then after a while all of a sudden you start behaving as I didnt ever exist for you and you continue normally with your life without giving a care about me. Sob! That is definitely not fair and hence I've decided to raise my concern and voice to stop this injustice I'm subjected to for no fault of mine. And I'm not asking for too much, am I? All i want for you is to show some respect and have undying belief in me. In return, I promise to give you happiness and a renewed faith in your abilities to achieve anything. A sense of freedom, power. And with this newfound power, imagine what all you can do with it! You and I together have the power to bring a change. A change within. A better you can bring about a change in your surroundings. And a better surrounding will lead to a better world. Together, we can bring a revolution. Just imagine. But this can only be possible if you believe in me and stand by me determinedly. I know, in today's world, it's not an easy task to stand by someone till the end of time. People tend to betray even their loved ones and turn their back on them to be left all alone. So, I don't know if I even stand a chance to stick around till the end but at least I can give it one last try to persuade you to restore your faith in me before I completely lose my faith in you and thereby in humanity. And the way humanity is going these days, I wonder where will it all end. Only if you and I join hands and work together, there might still be some hope left. Think about it! You have a wonderful year ahead. With me or without me. The ball is in your court now. The choice is yours.
Sincerely yours,
New year Resolution!

    1. Thanks Mansi! To be honest, I did start the post with a satirical touch to it but somewhere in between it got a little serious or at least it seemed so to me. So m glad that u could still find it satirical and it wasn't as serious as i thought it to be. Well, sometimes a different perspective helps you in speculating your own work :) Appreciate your comment and feedback.. as always!

  2. So well written. Inspirational. I read the whole article without blinking. I got a clue in the beginning as I am sailing in the same boat and struggling to keep my promises. Its not even been a month and I started neglecting it.
    thanks for reminding and making me realize. I will try to be on track again.
    Sincerely
    Khyati
