we were distanced
by the closeness between us
we were unhappy
for happiness that didn’t belong to us
we were crying from the inside
presenting fake smiles to the world
we drowned in pain
when we tried to dive into each other
we were filled, bubbled by the hollow
too many layers between us, parting our hearts
still all this while, never were we permitted
the unbearable pressure of the society
forcing our frames, to remain together
to do nothing but to put a fake face
behind which
we were to shed tears countless
embarrassing our happiness
Aw, you see – why’d you want to make me cry like that?!
Quick – send me a link to a happy poem!
Hey – that’s a great idea – each post should contain both the poison and the antidote! 😀
