When something is not working



Frustration at its peak, when something is not working 
World seems to go against, when something is not working 
Started with a toy, then clothes, friends then books,
Relationship, Job, Spouse and when your boss gave you those looks
That one question you keep asking yourself,
When something is not working.

What's wrong? Why was my teddy snatched,
Why didn't the clothes fit, I wanted this shirt that exactly matched.
Why was I never asked before my sibling for an ice cream,
Why didn't my parents allow me to choose my career inspite of my screams?

Why my date misunderstood me all the time,
Dumping my start-up, now feels like a crime.
Why is my colleague paid more?
We slog together, we have an equal score?
Why my wife cannot understand me, 
With every new set of clothes, footwear does not come for free.

Why do I have to give an explanation to my parents for everything, every time,
Why my children presume, they don't owe me an explanation for anything, anytime.
Why my laptop hangs only when I have an urgent email to send.
Why does it always take ages for my mood to amend
People who spoke for hours on phone, suddenly stops talking,
It's difficult to calm down, when something is just not working.

Getting habituated, now I feel indifferent,
When nothing works the way I intend,
Even if they do, I often ignore, 
My expectation is to get more than before,
Not realizing with my experience, 
Things will work out if they are meant to,
Why to give them unnecessary significance 
Even if they don't, with a SMILE let me otherwise pretend
When something is not working,
It's OKAY, let it go, the world will not come to an end.
