GO FACE YOURSELF!

Is not it always so difficult to face oneself!

How will you show your face to yourself?

Do you have enough courage in you

To go and stand in front of that mirror staring at you?

The world all around may be indifferent, 

Apathetic too,

Why expect it to be warm and passionate,

When all you did sow are painful thorns!

How do you expect happiness in return

When all you have gifted are, just sorrows?

Is not it foolish, to think of plucking flowers

When all the while, you just watered those narking thornbeds!

Some people look small, but are magnanimous,

Some catch the eye, but are farces,

Go try them all,

Probably then you will get to know the true you;

The more nearer you will try to come, 

Further then, you will have to run,

How will you stop that incessant flow of pain?

Beware! For that will make you restless,

Nervous, ill at ease, 

Run as much as you may

From it all,

They will run after you and call,

Yes, all the pains; and the heartaches that all around, you distributed

Will not let you rest in peace, nor let you forget!
