My own people couldn't see the tears in my eyes.

Info

There are tears behind my smile,
The reasons are the people, I used to call mine.

I am crying myself to sleep since the last few nights,
Though, those nights taught me the harshest truth of life.

My parents find it normal, they say that's the reality of this world,
It takes me time to understand all this because I  carry an extremely soft heart.

My heart's in pieces, and every piece aches so much,
I have no one to say this to so I write it in my verse.

The one I always treated as mother, and the other one as father,
Misunderstood my every word and called me a betrayer.

So, after all that happened in my life,
I would give everyone a life advice.

Do not love people too much,
They all will leave.

Do not pour your heart into people,
They will break it into pieces.

Do not put you happiness into others,
They will make you cry rivers and oceans.

The only handful of people belonged to me,
Have left me for reasons, I couldn't ever foresee.

And, now I am scared, I am scared to call anyone mine,
I have no energy to suffer anymore, I am done with all these plights.

So from now on I am leaving everyone behind,
To heal my shattered heart and to bring peace in my chaotic mind.

P:S I wish I was told these things before, that the world doesn't see the purity of heart but believes in what other say. That when you will be too much available for people, they will try to find your selfishness behind that.

Uhh Relatable The only thing I may ever regret is trusting people too much Believing every word they said And literally pouring my heart into theirs. And now I see everone from a distance Everyone. I must say its a great perspective though.
You know what, for me nothing has ever mattered more than my family. And, today I don't have any except my parents and my brother. I've never had too many friends, family was all I had. I wonder if I ever will be able to trust anyone. I have chased few, now I won't. They all leave. All of them. Today or tomorrow, they leave. I am writing it here because no one knows me here and I will be only judged on the basis of what I wrote here and not what they know about me. Thanks for sharing your words, they made me feel lighter. I actually needed this. Thank you so much. God bless you always. :)

You just made me cry (Happy Tears) and at the same time made me realized that yes, I am the batwoman. I will get over this. Thank you so much. Now, I feel it was the right decision to write it here. I just needed those words you said our of sheer goodness. Thank you! A very Happy Diwali to you too. :)
