Reality!

All seem so easy:

When I see people around me,

Holding on to social values;

When I see them lead life,

Believing everything is running race;

When I see them evolve,

Accepting day-to-day mundane;

Sometimes, all seem so beautiful:

 When I see two lovers,

Hoping to get married;

When I see the parents,

Bringing up their children;

When I see children,

Playing around me...

A whack on my face:

Everything becomes nothing,

In real, life is too complicated to crack,

When I see children in cancer institute,

When I see a husband die at 40,

Leaving his wife with an autistic son,

When true love proves to be myth,

My faith is annihilated;

Time to time hopes of new joy,

Bloom and wither;   

Pain and sorrow linger,

And now I find solace in them;

For some, even a simple and normal life,

As per social norms, is a luxury!
