NOT IT

Many times, almost all the time, we don’t feel convenient to express our true emotions because of the circumstances surrounding us:

Either because of the nature of people around us or nature of events occurring around. I might want to celebrate my long awaited employment letter the very day a loved one dies; what collision of emotions there would be in my heart!- of joy/happiness and sadness/gloom.

As humans, we are adept in switching moods (mood swings) and still totally act pseudo -displaying fake emotions- depending the situation at hand.

So, what we do is not what we do!

[A Pseudo Feeling]

I’ve learnt to cry but not cry
I’ve learnt to laugh but not laugh
I’ve learnt to smile but not smile
I’ve learnt to do things but not actually do them

I can outwardly show what’s the opposite of my feelings
Just to fit into the world
Just to make people know I’m not sad
Just to make people know that I’m not happy, likewise

And all outpour of emotions seems fake
All that is in the heart differs from what the face reads


So what I write now is not what I feel!
