Case study by Nissim Ezekiel
Have you read the Case study by Nissim Ezekiel? if not then you should read it once, the poem is about a man from childhood till adulthood who is clueless, hopeless and without purpose. At the end of 6the stanza the man asks for advice from the poet, and the poet replies "The pattern will remain unless you break with a sudden jerk... Not all who fail are counted with the fake".
It's like an advice to the late bloomers.
