Aboard (dream/reality)

Abroad used to be my dream,

But now when it turned into reality, 

My life had become a burden for me...

From the time I have reached my destiny,

I have realized it's not

how I used to dream 

I just wanted to give my family everything but while maintaining their happiness I forgot how I used to smile

I was the only bread winner for my family, So I thought to choose this place, which was also my dream, but when I reach here it's not how I used to dream, Faraway from my homeland faraway from my people all I see is humans like me, but no one to understand me.

I never was good at school or my books , knowledge was beyond my reach , but since I reached here I learned so many new things. 

To survive in this new world of my dream I have learned some new 

words, I believe.

By shaking my head for everything by obeying my boss and his family,

I remember the puppet show I used to see.

 

I never thought my dreams will be a shocking in reality.

Now again I started dreaming of my land where my life was hard but happiness was around me.

I have learned to appreciate for I had 

I want to be there where I used to be 

Where people used to treat me nothing but like a human being......
