Sometimes I wish simple things
Like tearing away these masks
Which I wear so freely these days
To hide those tears and distress
Who are my constant companions,
Following me like my own shadow!
Can I just be myself for once?
Without needing to hide behind
The fixed smile which comes
And always available on standby?
Can I cry my heart out for once
Without feeling guilty about it,
Till all my tears are drained out
Along with all the heartaches?
Can I be that girl for once
Who beams her sunshine smile
To the world around
Just because she is glad today?

Nice one, Deepa. Can't believe there is so much behind your 100W smile! I guess, all of us do have such moments. But, may be the darkest moments are the brightest of inspirations! Keep writing, Deepa.
ReplyDelete:-) Not necessarily self portrayal though!
ReplyDeleteI agree that we all have our moments and sometimes more. But then thats what life is!
Powerful Deeps!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I have a very strong emotion to this poem. May be I can identify myself with this girl. I smile even when it hurts so much and I would rather cry.
I love the way you write and thanks for sharing!
There are so many people in this world who face this world with a smile though the heart is burning! I think it is a strength! But then everybody needs a outlet - Sometimes to scream and cry your heart out!
