Once we grow up,
Open our eyes and heart to the world,
And people around us,
We witness heartbreaks,
And then ,
It takes life to fix these broken pieces,
And once broken,
None of the pieces fit together,
Nothing makes sense,
Memories wear gowns of mourning,
And start haunting you now and then,
You search escapes,
Infact momentary escapes,
You breathe, sigh, laugh and weep,
But pain is right there,
Deep inside you,
Swirling like an unending gush of water,
Every day your heart dies,
Every day you collect the ashes,
And whisper a false life in them,
Every day you put up a mask,
And every day you deceive the truth,
This is how the life goes,
This is how we learn to survive !
