Poem On Life

It's the new game
We all play, during childhood for fun
And in adulthood for hiding our pains
The game's called hide seek

For every question raised
We answer i am fine
For all we know, it's so untrue
But to make other person fine

Our cries are so louder
Yet unheard, for it cries in the heart
 The pillow knows all the truth, as it's always close
When we are down

The reason may be personal
The reason may be professional
But all in all we all running for 
The unending game of hide and seek

We all are in a race to make 
other person feel happy
Not knowing for smeone else
We are also other person

And in all this race, our efforts to make
Evryone happy, but at the end of the day we ourselves are unhappy
Why this fake smile, 
Why this fake care

Are we really happy
Be it circumstance
Or be it the person
For the truth is still a mystery.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Very well written ... In a sense it is true ... But perhaps not universally ... It depends on the personality ... Liked the write ...
