Time


That day I wake up with more questions
Which can’t answer by anyone
I was looking very confused, even I tried to hide my feelings
Over information is also a problem now
Where will I go and hide from these
Who is telling truth and who is telling lies?
I am as confused as a baby in the topless bar

Now whatsapp tells me every day what do and what not
And facebook shares its own version of stories
I tried to relax with my spouse, but he is busy with his PUBG now
Kids are calling always mamma mamma
Did they forget the word dadda dadda?
Where will this miserable life leads me now?
Am I still talking to my pillow?

Trying to keep my babies busy with some fun games
And trying to finish my jobs without fail
Breaks are now inside walls and seeing scenery from balcony
Kids are yelling to go out and play in open
Will this stage last for long?

Am I looking so tired? My mirror also stopped giving me answers now.
When I can meet parents and friends?
When I can sit next to them and laugh out for their jokes?
A lot of questions which don’t have answers now.
But I know time will answer those one day.
