Not A Poet

I know you are watching So, I put on a face and pretend like Nothing is wrong I need to look stronger for all My eyes are swollen From the nights that I have cried But I pretend to be sleep deprieved I need to look stronger for all My words have deep sorrow But I pretend to not mean it at all I need to look stronger for all When you see me lost I pretend to be thinking I need to look stronger for all No matter how hard you try You might not catch me pretending at all I look stronger for all -Shamitha Heramb

Gloomy, Starry or full of thorns All these paths seems unknown Laughter, joy or tears of sorrow Makes me bother no more No bird, animal or vulture A human form that I have taken Routine is what I follow With no purpose of my own Survival is what we seek And death is what we are worried What makes us so different When we all are trapped in the wheel - Shamitha Heramb
