Smile
Went on an excursion to find a soul,
Broken brutally but standing as a whole.
Blinded by the brightness all around.
Body filled with invisible wounds.
Scars going deep to the heart,
‘Agony’ as the life’s major part.
To whom , nothing feels right.
The one unfamiliar with light.
To whom , happiness is a foreign concept.
‘Grief’ is what it accepts.
What they want it to be is what it’s dying to be,
But what it really is, is not what it’s trying to be.
Everyday, fighting with its own emotions.
Thinking, pondering, worrying but coming to no conclusion.
Feels like running, but got no place to hide.
For the half of its life it had only cried.
Sometimes for help, sometimes out of pain,
Some tears understood, others went into vain.
Social interactions feel like an unalarmed compulsion.
Going deep and deep into the world of seclusion.
That soul’s got no place to hide ,
But still it was extremely difficult to find.
I was looking for a reason,
Ultimately came to only one conclusion.
The failure of my search;
Only one thing could explain,
The ‘SMILE’ that deceives people and hides all the pain.
