POSSESSION
possession is a word which speaks for itself
we don't know when we are possessed
and sometimes that too by our loved ones
showing love isn't possession
then what is it?
controlling a person can be possession
but listening to that person can be a bigger possession
the question is not as simple as it seems
and maybe I'm wrong if I'm saying this
but being good can NEVER be a possession
and possession can NEVER be good.
