Who Am I

An Eroded Heart


When you see me         the smile shall not vanish from my face
But peep into my heart         it is laden with tears of an eroded heart
Burdened with the sorrows        of the self and of others around me
A soul that knows nothing                but survives on the language of love
Much love have I received                       when I held the hands of pain and suffering
Much shattered have I been                by the masks of ego that bestrode by my side
Destiny's unkindness                    of distancing family ties since early childhood
Were lessons                            for humanitarian reprieve in lives of others around me
Oft insulted and abused    but forgiving next morn with my famous sunny smile
