Superficial life

by Dr sarat sonowal   Jun 13, 2011


Tired of each lie
The circle of broken ties
Life is such superficial
We look at the face
Not at the eyes

A stare to the ceiling
And the search for the stars
Life is such superficial
Stars are for the sky
Not for the ceiling or the walls

Everything is being done
With a constant compromise
The endless track of a sacrifice
Life is such superficial
we paint the canvas
But what remains is the dye

Drowning in the past
Feels so real the smiles
Life is such superficial
We cry for the smile
So that we can again smile

We hear the voices
The voices we speak
Life is such superficial
We never hear the inner voices
That everyone speaks

Life is such superficial
The superficial lie
Everything is like a mirror
The reflection
Being the superficial lie

Life is such superficial
Today we live
Tomorrow we die

    Dark expressions, very moving and sad. A wonderful write. I liked this stanza the best amidst the dark sentiments:

    Drowning in the past
    Feels so real the smiles
    Life is such superficial
    We cry for the smile
    So that we can again smile

    It carries a glimmer of hope in our darkest hours.

    Life is such superficial

    I like the repetion of this line and it is so true; people nowadays just say things with a smile but their words are not genuine. Liked the read.
