Lie

Only the weak ones know, nobody loves them,

Only the competent ones know, none likes them,

Only the strong ones know, how pitiful it is to show one’s weakness, cause nobody actually cares,

Only the broken hearts know the cost of trusting,

Only the genuine ones know, how fake smiles can be,

Only a hard working person knows,

People likes them for their rendered services,

They like them for the identity they build,

Nothing is permanent,

Nothing last long,

And, nothing can be as joyful as truth,

Regret! Momentary happiness is a lie,

There’s no ounce of truth in it and so the joy

once brings brim of smile on your face is

washed away with the flow of tears,

Just like the ocean waves coming and going on the same sea-shore.

Why don’t you believe in people anymore?! – Cause, I don’t want anyone to exploit my reason. How’s that like?!
