THE JOKER

 

Wearing a mask that depicts a smile,

I carry a burden called life.

I stand unnoticed,

with a burden always on hook.

I run to make people laugh,

where my own happiness seems to be at par.

Masked but not a hypocrite,

just a person with a paining heart,

leading a life not asked for.

Whom to say the bitter reality,

for no one notices,

the tears being shed and

life which is full of dread.

I wipe my tears,

sinking in the bitter reality,

For I am a joker,

who smiles one fake smile,

for all other smiles.
