Poem Title:
Poem
Born in a middle class family, I enjoyed my life every day As I grew, with rosy dreams of the future, in bed I would lay I will have a romantic husband, a life of love and care With great joy I got married, about reality was unaware My mother-in-law was ever critical of all I did I wore a MASK of joy, my tears I often hid Hubby kept quite, he simply watched me cry To end my agony and tears he never made a try My tender heart was BROKEN when he said I love you Wanted to yell end this FACADE, do you really do? With a CRACKED heart and crushed dreams I persisted Went about my daily work unhappy, I merely existed I realized true love doesn't exist, reality is FLAWED All human are heartless, everyone around is fraud Initially I felt I was useless like a cloth that is TORN Now I know all are IMPERFECT, every person born We all live a life of ILLUSION many truths are never spoken Since we easily believe others we are often heartbroken Our expectations are the cause of our agony and pain Due to our attachment and ego every time we are slain If we have no desires, if we do good deeds, never do bad We will always be happy, no-one, nothing can make us sad It is not just with wedding, in fact our whole life Is based on falsehood, oftentimes full of strife We think we are the body while we are the soul seated within it We serve the body in delusion, about soul we don't care a bit We work for gratification of senses, on desires whims we dance A life of unrest is lived by us, full life without peace we prance We need to end this falsehood, identify with our true self Try to see our soul, aim for salvation, live for our true self Only after salvation we will discover agape love, eternal joy A life of truth, devoid of pain and tension, we’ll finally enjoy 19.06.2021 For writing prompt Flawed, Constance La France
