THE FALSITY OF APPEARANCE: A VERSE IN COUPLETS

THE FALSITY OF APPEARANCE

Travelling a Long journey of years

Can't lie to me anymore,

Behind this smile, this mask

I'm not the same girl I was before.

 

I wasn't even really myself to my parents

concealed my emotions, my love, my talents.

My teachers taught me the lessons they arranged,

No one noticed the harm "I was getting changed".

In parties, I flaunted with garland and strings

Eluded the fancy of a child in spring,

Left behind the innocence In chasing the goal

I hid my ecstasy, unnerved my soul.

I banter upon this crowd

Who appreciate my confidence and vanity.

Is this what they want?

A fake mask of my personality.

In the midst of plenty, there is one of my own

He likes me with no bond, no makeup, no flown.

Together we shout, we laugh, make sense.

Thank God there is someone who recognized my falsity of appearance.

This poem expresses the virtuous necessity of simply just being oneself, unique in characteristics and personality, as created by our Heavenly Creator who made each and everything (plants, galaxies, humans and animals) unique.

This shows self-love and self-acceptance in our daily harmonious socializing with other humans.
And that is the beauty and diversity of humanity, though there is nothing wrong with learning from one another as part of humanity's collective progress.

Thanks for sharing your innermost truth.

NICE POEM!

mam it is a very heart touching poem for the ones who think that they have changed a lot and a warning for the ones who are changing. but mam i think i could not properly understand the meaning of the third paragraph. keep writing.
