THE SURVIVAL WE SEEK
Sometimes,
Even the tough gets ladened
with care too high
for their stern minds.
Sometimes,
the swift becomes shaken
with faith, wonky
and tremor gripping their frame
bravery, lost
defeat, accepted.
Sometimes,
heftiness betrays too
with the hefty one becoming frail
like one, ill.
even with brawny arms
and voice, coarse.
Sometimes,
silence swallows the tongues
of those who babbles, too
as the hurdles in life leaves them
voiceless and inexpressible;
with pride, smeared
and life’s vanity, realized.
Sometimes,
humans become liars
with diverse tool of deceits
inner emotions, suppressed
and fakery worn on faces
in a bid not to make others fret.
Sometimes,
our feelings are betrayers
numb, we become
when struck by dilemmas
too huge for our countenance
as we conceal pains amidst travails.
Sometimes,
we just want to survive
in this hell called – WORLD!
