Mirrors and Masks
Pahaldeep 2005 (Haryana)
Humans love to see themselves in mirrors,
Look at their features and hairs more clearer.
In the series of personality types
We easily wear different masks,
We just pretend to be the wiser and coolest but for the opinions of others, we never ask.
A person who looks most happiest from the outside and trying to help everyone is the one who is dying inside and want himself to get understand by anyone.
He wears the mask of happiness whereas He is really in pain,
They never show the real emotions, be brave, speak it out, all these are in vain
The way you are inside is what reflects in your behaviour,
The way you treated an ultimate stranger and being a saviour.
Wearing Masks is easy but when we confront ourselves in the mirror then it's just you, the real you,
We can't fake ourselves when it's about original me and original you.
Reflections are the good test of what a person really is
