It is tough to guess the face behind the mask.
It is tough to guess all the details of its planned task.
But it eventually shows up as it rots and gets visible to all.
It digs its own grave and plans its downfall!
How I wish the hidden face had no powers over other's mind.
How I wish I had a super power to unleash the thoughts behind.
How I wish I was strong enough to tackle the evil deeds.
How I wish I never had to bend to others' needs!
How I wish I could rewrite few chapters of life.
How I wish I could use the face behind my mask just like a knife.
To think of harm and plan it meticulously with a smile on face always plastered.
To be sweet and then bite behind the back is an act which can't be easily mastered!!
It is true that straight trees and honest people are cut first.
But why do dishonest and false people stay strong even after losing the trust?
Why does it always take time to heal and to do what one must?
Why can't one be always clever enough to make their acts just!!
It is OK for you to wear a mask in order to re-surface other's actual face.
It is OK to wile a smile to walk out of the carefully planned maze.
It is not OK to ignore the subdued thoughts which successfully destroy you.
Get rid of the multifaceted person from your heart, mind and soul if it is still due!
You and only you can decide who and what can control you.
You and only you can judge what as per you is false and true.
Before you decide and judge see that you are free of faces and prejudice.
If some one cannot be changed with love and patience then he/she is a disease!
Prevention is better than cure and if prevention is out of hands, cure should not be delayed.
Self love and self esteem are the greatest of all virtues which should never be marred.
Do not succumb to the multiple faces and become a weaker personality.
To live , adjust and to bear with the preposterous faces leads to fatality!!

sometimes masks serve the purpose of defense more than strategic attack and wearing them becomes inevitable. Nice lines :)
ReplyDeleteNicely written Afshan.....sometimes self convincing is hard though :)
ReplyDeleteI can quite see your frustration on reading this poem. I hope things are much better now, Afshan dear!
ReplyDeleteA very poignant one...
ReplyDeleteWe all wear masks and feel equally uncomfortable and suffocated by it.
