There is always graduation ceremony in our lives,
We graduate when we get adult
We graduate when we marry
We graduate when we get old

But no one claps for us
We never wear the graduation clothes
and even when we die
Actually
We graduate!

I came to my FB, after two years
Definitely I saw the peers college graduation photos.

My tears claped for them
my fingers typed a congratulation comment.
But my heart, never congratulated them.

My heart felt a big jealousy
The jealousy which I was not aware

It uttered:
Aman!
Whern you graduate from the college ?
Where are your graduation photos?

Should I clap ?
Why your are not happy ?
Why you are not smiling?

You were not the one who should receive a PhD from Harvard?

I was silinet!
Silent like a dark night
Silent like a spring buzz

I replied:
I graduated from the
Poverty college!
I graduated from homelessness college!
and finally I received my PHD from
Tears university!
Why you are not clapping for me!

I had already my graduation ceremony...
