MASK

MASK

I felt always gloomy

Thought that none is around me

I felt when my mom covered me

Covered me within her cloth to feed

I was alone in the class of crowd

Felt I am the lonely one

Ne who doesn’t get any class

The class went off my head

I was not smart in the ground

My early age was with village

Village games that had to hide

Hide as they were unpopular

I had no dress that groomed

Matched the fashion of the day

So I was aloof under the mask

Mask of a studious one less active

I was not so bright and had no dream

More of dread that made adjustable

Love what I got as the best of all

Not being creative – not my cup of tea

Fear of failure and loss of courage

It is me the end of the day I learned

I was driven by chance and loss

Lost in fate and thought that is life

I kept smiling with mask of pride

Shown as myself so courageous

Hidden my failures saying always

I am from such a background

It is just half of my life now

I realized the life is not just that

That one defines and driven

It is to be lead by self desire

It is not late, never late

At least a day before one breath

Breath is last could get to live

Live a life that lead by self

Roads and many and cars too

Neither the road nor the car

Decides the speed and the drive

It is the skill in the driver

I decided a day, that I will drive

Drive along and enjoy my roads

Let the road be bad and the car too

I will enjoy  the humps and dumps

I loved these days as these are

New brighter of the brightest

It is not the mask of hide

It is the mask that protected me

So long as the pupa had before

Before the butterfly took birth
