Stigma

About this poem

What's Stigma? -A mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person.(source:- Google) So basically having bad notions about something. In my poem I tried to talk about parents pressurizing their children about giving up on their passion and following the path they've set for the children. Most of us have gone through this right? Not being able to follow our dreams because the society has set tags to dreams about being big or small. There's a stigma related to even our education. Even what we study can become the topic of discussions in family functions. It pressurizes us to give up on what we like and just follow what the society finds acceptable. It starts to seem as if no one really understands us and we're alienated.We forget that however big or small, our dreams are valid, and no one really should be allowed to judge it. Btw let me tell you golden templates are certificates awarded for academic achievements which are lying in my house and I've nothing to do with them, as looking at them I feel pressured to do things against my will. Anemones are flowers symbolising expectations. Depression and mania are terms associated with bipolar disorder and people who are bipolar tend to be depressed sometimes and hyperactive the other times (something like that).A semicolon is used when writers wanted to end a sentence but have decided to continue it. About 52 Hertz? Just google the 52 Hertz whale, they're said to be the loneliest creatures. They produce pitch at higher frequency which is different from other whales and since they cannot understand it the whale is often alienated and I guess that's what we youngsters go through, we feel alienated when others don't seem to understand our thoughts. more »
