Offlate I was stung by a silly thing in my life that,when grief got the better of me i wrote this poem.
Why is the truth always bitter?
Why do relationships always hurt?
Like a mirage, it draws u near
The closer you move towards it
You realize , it’s a lie & Ah!!...it hurts!!.....
Many at times I fell into the same pit
Much effort was needed to pull myself out
But lo!....my mind gets deceived again
And there! I fall back into the same pit again…..
My silly mind is so gullible
The more I get close with people
The more, I grow on them
But they get busy with the world around them
And the sooner they realize I obstruct their path,
Like a cursed thorn, I am thrown out.
“A little selfishness never hurts”
My tormented soul cries
“Others above yourself”
My innocent heart screams back…..
Torn between emotions and truth
My life’s journey continues to sail…..
