This face, this mask

This face, this mask,
And this gruesome task;
To live,
And to enjoy life,
With this mask.

Clouded behind clouds,
Crowded behind crowds,
Torn apart by two worlds,
Walking the middle path.

Searching for me,
Knowing I am deep,
Inside me.

Searching for bliss,
Growing the gold,
Inside me.

This face, this mask
And this gruesome task;
I know one day,
I shall live,
And enjoy life,
Without this mask.

  6. lemme tell one thing today ...

    peace and happiness never lies inside you ... its just a human excuse to sidewise his/her faults/mistakes/misfortunes ...

    peace and happiness lies in what we want to do with the conditions that it gets done by us ...

    khair ... write new fundas ... :)

  10. I liked most the line- Walking the middle path. Most of us do this, but few accept.

  11. I loved the last lines, enjoying without mask. We mostly wear for other's happiness, whereas inner happiness is more important.
