Reality’s A Fake

If anyone tells you that what you sow, you’ll reap… slap him hard in the face. Coz if that was true, then everything that’s happening is deserved…

You deserve to be hated when you tried your best to be fair, honest.. You deserve to feel miserable when all you wanted is for others to be happy.. You deserve to suffer when you’re willing to give your life to someone who needs it.. And you deserve to cry when all you wanted is to end others’ pain…

The mirror doesn’t show you what you really look like.. because it only depends upon what your eyes are seeing. You won’t know how others view you- if you look good or if you look bad. You always are biased- only considering your perspective, your views, your opinion.. And this will make your reflection look back at you with the same expression as yours…

You tend to flash your brightest smile when you are feeling so down. You sing as many songs as your throat permits, when your heart is always exploding with emotions. You go out with friends- be noisy, active, and spirited- when your soul is hanging on a thread for its dear life. You boast about your belongings, letting anyone know how blessed you are- when deep inside you, a thin line separates giving up and holding on…

You force yourself to love someone when your loved one turned you down. You have to show him that it’s his loss and you are unaffected. You pretend to be thrilled when someone proposed his feelings. Yet, at the back of your mind, you wish that he’ll just disappear and never bother you again…

If someone told you to go to the left, it means you have to go to the right. If he said it was easy, then it was difficult. If she said you can make it, then you better quit. If they said it ends happily, then it was tragic…

Now, hear me: everything we sow, we will reap. I deserve to be hated, to feel miserable, to suffer and to cry. The mirror shows me what I want to see. That’s why I always smile and I sing a million songs a day. I go out with friends, I enjoy. I’m proud and contented with what I have. I am loving him who loves. It was not my loss and I am unaffected. I am thrilled when someone declares his feelings. A am pointing to my left and convincing you that it was easy. I’m encouraging you to continue because I believe that you can make it. And I will keep on reminding you that every fairy tale ends with this line, “And they live happily ever after”…

Life’s a fraud. And everyone’s a hoax. Hypocrisy is the name of the game.
