Assign; Pretense; Traverse;
LET ME ASSIGN MYSELF
JUST THIS ONE GOAL
Having traversed
the peaks and valleys
on the path of life
can I live with
any pretense or
put a mask on my face
No, I don't thinks so,
for the hard journey
taught me to be real
as I could just not
ignore any realities which
almost swallowed me;
then let me assign
myself just this one goal
- to continue to be real
without any pretense
even in my smile, ever...
RS:)
To be real... so very important.

A wise poem, indeed. Yes to be 'real' is the only true answer. TY
ReplyDeleteCertainly something that we should all aspire too; and beautifully captured too.
