Enter: Opinion

 Knock, Knock, Knock,

Enter: Opinion,

You might be confused?

But so am I,

Imagine if you had all things going on right,

Or at least, in your head,

For once, you thought,

You did something right,

"Well, that's an achievement"

Is something you would tell yourself,

Someone else could be proud of you for it,

Whilst the world around you,

Maybe happy for you,

There would still be someone out there passing a nasty comment,

And unfortunately telling you,

How you should live your own life,

Opinion has already entered,

Unfortunately, the one you didn't ask for. 


Knock, Knock, Knock,

Enter: Opinion,

Just like in the previous instinct you "imagined" the beautiful things that happened to you,

Now why don't you "imagine" something else?

Well, let's just imagine that,

Due to any unforseen circumstances there might be something wrong going on,

And like any other individual,

You're going to be "busy" fixing that problem,

I'm sure not all us are machines,

So of course this is going to take a while,

Why not,

You should definitely try to solve problems,

Rather than wait for them to cause more,

Good thing,

Now "imagine" that you're going to solve the issue,

But until the issue is really solved,

Opinion has unfortunately entered,

And well, it's going to go on talking about your "problem",

One or two might actually help you with the solution,

Unfortunately the one- you didn't ask for.


Knock, Knock, Knock,

Enter: Opinion 

Just like in the previous instinct, you imagined that you have a problem to solve,

Now imagine that the problem is solved,

Well, that's a good thing,

Some might celebrate,

Some might call it magic,

Some might say it was luck,

Unfortunately, even at this "good" stage in life,

When your problem is solved,

Opinion has already entered,

And it's giving you ideas and opinions,

The ones you didn't ask for. 


Now that you get the jist of this,

I'll get to the point,

My Instagram is all about the cricketer: Virat Kohli,

My twitter speaks of his "good times" on and off the field,

Fans are always posting their knock, knock, knock,

Enter: Opinion,

Some might call it a phase,

Some might say the official should give him rest,

Some might glorify the bad times,

Unfortunately, everyone's saying something about him,

None of which, he willingly asked for. 


Cricket is a beautiful sport,

Fans are beautiful with their support,

Critics have the ability to shock with their opinions,

Players may or may not have a good day at office,

Just like you and me,

Might not be able to make it to office,

Might not able to meet deadlines at work,

However, one thing that's common,

In the field of cricket,

And at a regular workplace,

Is the effort to try and make things work,

Is the ability to try and get things back together,

Closing the door to your opinions



Some things are always worth it at the end,

Tough times don't seem to last,

Opinions there one day,

They can change the other,

Cricketers go tour after tour,

Recently lived in bio bubbles as well,

Just like how you and I get back and better at our own work,

With all the extra hours of hardwork, concentration and so much more,

Just like that,

One day, 

Just one day,

Virat Kohli will be back,

Stronger and better then ever,

And I'll wait for you to change your opinion!
