A Real Conversation With Real People

A real conversation
with real people,
is rare these days.

Knowing one another
is much more than we can see,
A smiles what I wear
but the smile isn’t me.
We spend our lives hiding,
it’s our only real devotion,
To wear only a smile,
instead of true emotion.

As we sit in the opposite place,
We both project our deceptive face.
Because being fake

is the trend these days,
Everyone hiding themselves

in this modern rat race.
Being fettered in our own messy maze,
We forget authenticity

is our salvation and our grace..

Because the world today
is more comfortable seeing the masks
than the true self that lies behind.

The fear of losing the one you loved,
Will make you to pretend.
Wearing a mask,
Is always a risk.
Be you,
And the right one

will never leave you.

Smiling on the outside,
Indifferent inside,
The masks we wear,
The feelings we hide.
Short term, it might work,
Never in the long term.
The masks have to go,
Reality has to be met,
Feelings have to be expressed,
Any future hinges on it.

No need to argue, no need to ask,
Life is better when we remove mask,
Lets enjoy company face to face,
Nothing to hide & nothing to trace.

Life is precious,
Why be pretentious?
Hiding behind a mask,
Is such a task.
Try being transparent.
Let your feelings be apparent!

One person inside,
Another on the outside.
Life won’t work this way,
We’ll have to put our masks away.
Because, not everyone has the ability,
To understand that there is power

in vulnerability.
