HIDDEN PAIN

As I was gazing the beauty of Nature

I was just mesmerized looking at its texture.

Still somewhere, something was wrong

Some tears were hidden in between the eternal beauty.

The scorching sun, the gusty winds, the splashing waves

Veils the filled eyes and painful glance

But the truth never dies!

From every nook there someone cries hysterically

They bawl inside their heart

They are brazzled with their whole life

But their calls remains unrequited.

Well, hidden pain of every girl

Will be buried in their deep heart.

Nothing will change and will ever change

Perhaps the insecurity will remain forever.

Like the trees shed their leaves

On every faces the smiles fades

There is no one to wipe their tears

Instead to add fuel to their ravages.

Their dismal faces reflects on every picture.

Somehow the nature unveils the pain

Which will ever remain the same…
