The world is sad
Even the happy people just pretend it well.

The world cannot see the dark patches beneath your eyes
only because of how elegantly you are smiling
as if you were this happy always.

I can see how broken you are
how much you have been controlling your emotions and tears.

The world has seen your daylight charm
Not the hidden despair of sleepless pillow hugging nights.

But hey, that is okay.
Yes! That is okay because sadness too has a reason
to make you feel lost, make you feel unwanted
and detach you from the crazy world.

The self loathing is quite imperative.

It is said you are actually happy
when you bring out your emotions to the world.

Life will always seem unfair
There are infinite reasons for it.
You are in a battlefield between pretending to be happy
and killing the sadness within you.

I have often been asked
Why don't I like flowers?

Don't you think, happiness is just like a rose?
You feel the softness at first,
then the thorns hurt you,
Hurt you so bad that it imprints in you for life.

Finally, a full fledged reason for not liking flowers ever.

We are all hurt in ways we hide it from the world.
But let me tell you,
Emotions are bound to make you feel a lot of things.

It is good to have emotions
Even drowning in emotions is agreeable.
Enough validation for having a heart.

Pretending has never helped, never will.
Stop hiding your scars beneath those beautiful eyes.
Help each other heal
LOVE is glorious,
LOVE is everything,
LOVE is everything,
Just remember that.
