 Dear Sea

I am a pond who is in transition journey to be a river to quote 

As a new joiner , to understand better I am taking a note

I haven't learned my basics of being river which flows free 

I am still holding on to trivial things and imagining promotion as sea 

My team had a outing off late a leisure 

We had clicked multiple group picture

My manager updated her WhatsApp status of event 

She picked a picture where only I am not present 

As it's a team picture, I had slight expectation that I would be included too 

I also assertively asked her with intention true 

She immediately posted a picture of me for the sake of it 

I didn't want her to do that just to fake it 

I know it's her personal status 

I shouldn't have questioned and made fuss 

But for little things itself I feel like being poked by a pin 

Even if I didn't express, it still builds up within 

I know I am tagged to be too emotional 

And the matter is also trivial 

But I do get carried away with these things going on 

Although I want to inherit the rivers quality of moving on 

Give me one advise to not think over this silly things in round 

And leave the stagnation quality I have imbibed from being pond 

Savage Sea replies -

For sure I will respond to your letter 

Before writing angry messages to manager , writing to me first is always better 

 knowing the issue solves majority of your concern and you will  be fine

You aren't focussed enough on your work so have all this free time 

I flow my worries with waves 

River too doesn't feel attached and no more craves 

Focus on duty and result will follow effortless 

Open your mind and mind your own business

Forget pond you are still with well mindset 

There are real issues around and for these trivial things you  are getting upset !!!
