"I'm so happy for you
Finally your mind's steady
Come to office tomorrow
We have a job ready."

They may have a job
But she wasn't ready
To give away freedom
She wasn't that silly

"No dad, no
You can't do that once again
For once listen to me
Let us strike a bargain"

Her dad was furious
He wasn't used to being advised
But Deepa won't back out either
She was tired of playing wise

"All I'm asking is time
Six months to prove myself
If you still think I'm a fool
I'd chase your stupid wealth"

After a day of drama and tantrums
She finally had her time
She had to prove that even her writings
Can earn her a precious dime

Eyes set on goal
Heart filled with ambition
She sat to finish her story
No one can wary my determination

In the next couple of months
She finished with Boy and Witch
But when she needed it the most
Luck decided to give a ditch

When she wandered to sell her words
She found out the harsh truth
After being rejected several times
She even burned her life's fruit

That was the last strand
Her father had had enough
"Stop it you crazy girl
Can't you see your own bluff?"

But her six months weren't over
She wished to give one last try
So she went the solo way
Much to her father's cry

She published her book online
Promoted it even harder
But there still weren't no takers
That broke the one last barrier

Next day she was there
Sitting in a cubicle
All the dreams that she had harbored
Shattered in a bubble

All gone in a puff...
