In mid of our rich experience, And hell what all we face, Makes us wear a mask, And a never wanted costume or dress. In the wins and lost battles, Our simple life becomes a chess. We achieve, But still depressed. Role models for others, But within just a mess. With a million dollar question of - Whom are we trying to impress? The answer to this, And what worked, Was that it's okay to be lost at times - To find yourself is a bliss. At times your "me time" Is the only missing fizz. You might have excuses of responsibility, But reality is that you either Don't know what you like, Or lack courage To pay the price for what you miss. But once you do, You will be happy within - And believe me, that's Full of cheerfulness.
