Bitter Truth

A Poem by Jasnil Chand

Life is full of fake people

"I am here for you" so they say
Never letting you feel lonely on any day
No one is for real
Nobody gives a damn about how you feel
Can't handle me at my worst?
Sadly relationships now have their own cost

Faking smiles and care
Playing with emotions, how is that fair?
I lay in bed and think all night
Do I really have someone supporting me as my guiding light?
Each day passed with so much pain
Not you but what matters is what everyone gains

Usage of those sweet sweet lies
Every-time a part of my sensitive side dies
I act like it but I am no fool
Messing me up that is not cool
Should I sleep
Or should I weep

Do I really deserve this all?
Being way too loyal to all I love is my greatest downfall
Finally I beat you at your own game
Still pretending like someone cares, now that's just lame
I hide my pain cause that is the only choice
I am silenced now despite having voice
