I can't respond to my name!

Don’t you judge me by what I don’t know!
Because learning to me comes very slow
So what if there were things that I did miss
Haven’t you heard that ignorance is bliss?

Okay! Ignorance is bliss, but not in every case,
But what should one do to keep up with the pace.
From the fear of not running the race with capacity
Has arisen the feeling of insecurity.

Fear and Insecurity have become my shadow
Walking hand in hand with me wherever I go.
Making me give excuses that are lame,
Because of these I don’t respond to my name!

How to get rid of this negative in me?
If I knew the answers I know it would be easy.
I need a positive to neutralise this negation, only then I can win the mind game
Until then, I can’t respond to my name!
