Reality of Life

June 19, 2023 in English Poetry

Came a girl pearl white, with eyes so big and mouth opened wide;

in awe with the beauty around,

felt welcomed by the world she had then found.

The grasses gleefully allowed her to skim past through,

tress bowed at her compassionate view.

Little did she knew that the world she she loved,

had hidden the inner brutality of her beloved.

The harsh realities of life she learned, despite being late;

that all she had in her life is none.

Except her own soul which was shredded into pieces,

as she picks them up and hides it’s scars and crevices.

Patterned them in an entirely different form,

in the hope to create something which could not be broken by any belief or norm.

A teenager she became at last,

A human masterpiece without a heart.

Facades

June 19, 2023 in English Poetry

It’s the facade at the end of the day
which pulls you apart and puts you in dismay.
A life full of pain and disdain
Leaves us with nothing; which we had ever attained.
Full of fear and lack of joy
A cloud of grief, our masks our decoy.

Captivated by fear and shunned by grief,
Trapped by guilt and defeated from within.
Our conscience playing tricks and replaying our mishaps
Nightmare it is, but without an escape.
Trapped we are, within our crooked thoughts
Prisoners we are, of the dismay we ever brought.
