The burden a smile embraces,
To utter how happy one is so no one knows,
No one ever finds out if it’s a façade or no.
Why do we need perpetual hope?
When we don’t do anything to take what’s our own,
So much power that one smile has then,
Because it holds within the greatest power,
To hide all of our trepidations, anguish and sorrows to begin with.
A smile can say a thousand things,
No one sees how it hides a million deceits,
Just as someone who loves you for it,
Another heartache unfolds within.
How we crave happiness,
By definition isn’t it just the absence of pain,
But do we really know what agony is,
Or maybe it’s the ephemeral bliss that proclaims it.
An addiction is what it is,
Seeking exuberance, solace encouraging it,
We all want back that one smile we give,
We pursue it to satisfy any qualms within.
We decipher others but do we really care,
Who knows the words our soul preach,
Obliviousness is what we achieve,
Shrouding behind that barrage of pain,
It voices the truth ,we are just lonely loons.
But till the time we breathe,
We desire and we need,
Some succor before the search,
For the soul who feeds free.
People come and they go,
Disappearing without the slightest allusion,
How many chunks into our hearts gets frayed,
Yet we bond one by one of what’s left within.
