How are
you doing is usual question,
Answer
varies depending on situation.
But mostly
I say ‘I am doing good’,
Even if I
am fussy or in a bad mood.
Thinking
what world would understand,
It’s only
peripheral face that is still stand.
Nameless
are emotions flowing high,
Smiling
artificially without a sigh.
But then
my heart says it is all oafish,
Listen to
what you admire and wish
Meander
path let everyone take
I shall
bake my own cake.
I shall
look for happiness in real,
And not
dependent on ties surreal.
Transparency
is surely beneficial,
Works
practically and is ideal,
Shall not
look for ties superficial
Being deep
happy is true sense jovial.

Deletelove your outlook
ReplyDeleteThanks a ton Sheilagh!
DeleteI loved the way you expressed amazing thoughts with poetry. I have a huge respect for all those amazing writers who know the art of poetry. yes happiness is a beautiful positive emotion and we all should try to be happy and positive despite adverse outer situations.
ReplyDeleteSuperficial ties are hardly beneficial to both. The only times that survive the test of time are those that have touched your heart and mind. Very well said.
ReplyDeleteEvery word is poignant. We do fake our emotions and say all is fine even when the heart is bleeding.The word peripheral reminded me of my son's illness-peripheral neuropathy. I had never heard of this and had to look it up.
ReplyDeleteYes we should crave our own way and follow our own heart. Lets not find happiness outside its right within us. Love yourself and embrace life as it comes
ReplyDeleteWe all hide worlds behind those smiles. And this is true, when anyone asks, how are we doing, we hardly tell the truth. Maybe, we are evolved to fight our wars alone and maybe that's the part of life.
