Missing innocence….

Missing myself! The old me full of innocence.

Missing the purity of emotions that I felt!

Full of aspirations and optimism!

Missing that perspective where everyone seemed nice and good.

Life is indeed harsh, strips off the innocence 

Bares the naked reality;

That is shocking and gruesome.

Shatters all those fragile thoughts!

I walked the streets in good faith,

I walked the aisle filled with love,

Life has moved and taught lessons,

Now I walk alone in a maze of haze and resentment!

Now all the real emotions are hidden.

There is a mask that I wear everyday,

A mask of happiness, cordial love,

Even when the heart is screaming disappointments myriad!

A sweet water lake that flowed within

Now has poison therein.

The now seemingly serene lake,

Has a volcano at the bottom;

Struggling to spurt, burst and bring in peace!
