I was standing like a star
Tons of people smiling not afar
Holding flowers of awe
Giving gifts wrapped in love
A voice whispers;
It is perfect.
Hands that claps for you.
Flowers thrown for you.
Smile because of you.

But then...then it became husky
Entering my ears, going through my mind
For a minute, I was snapped
Smile faded. Salty tears came out.

The whisper continued;
Except, they are not real.


Just a mannequin
of your
own
illusion...
