A Show

Hardships of life mow her down

Her once bright and blissful smile

Has now morphed into a distasteful frown

It has been a while

Ever since I saw her ecstatic

Like a zombie she roams about

Resembling nothing but a lunatic

A cacophony of voices in her head shout

Clueless and in a state of bafflement

She sits all locked up in her room, where

Most of her time is spent

Finding someone true to share

Her long kept lurking secrets

That are eating her up inside

Being beaten down by guilt pangs and regrets

Is in need of a friend to help her subside

This devastating prolonged pain

Someone who will never leave

But people change leaving such wishes in vain

She knows, she is not suppose to weave

The threads of wants and wishes together

But accept this, hard to believe reality-

Change is the law of life and things never

Work out; Because unexpected is the specialty

Of such a life, so pay no heed (to it)

Remove your rose tinted glasses

Look at the world with a naked eye; The need

Of the hour it is, to see through the faces

Of people whom you blindly did trust

Before they betray you, so go

Unveil their masks, discover what you must

That all you saw, believed till now, was but a show.
