See yourself in others eyes
Never joke too much,
otherwise you're meaningless

    This is beautiful. It speaks volumes in three short lines of poetry. If you joke too much you can't be taken seriously, in essence, you become meaningless. Oh how true the line of see yourself through others eyes is! The way people see themselves every day when they glance into the mirror is usually not the same image they reflect out to every one around them. Great work here.

    This is a great haiku khalid, I know how you mean about 'seeing yourself in others eyes'

    Sometimes though I feel we worry too much what other people think of us.

    Joking too much, suggests that they should take life a little more serious.

    nice write

    Okay, interesting piece...it is true that if you lie so many times, people won't believe you...

    My only critique with this is the use of "you're" in the first line, it doesn't read right, "You are" would read much better flow wise, though I guess you changed it to fit the syllable count, it just doesn't work for me.

    But nice piece...
