The Truth of Life

Life seems to be so simple,
Happy faces and no wrinkles,
It’s like a puppet show,
Control…….. You don’t know.

First impression and first view,
You think them to be true,
Life goes well like a smooth drive,
Where you and your dreams survive.

But life is not a bed of roses,
Little gain and a lot of losses,
Challenges and struggles are much more,
Emotions and attachments should be ignored.

What you think is not the reality,
Internally, it’s the game of cruelty,
The truth is based upon so many lies,
It’s the real truth of life.

To be successful in life…trust on your inner good soul,
That will make you brave and bold,
Nobody will make you to cry,
This is the real truth of real life
