My illusion about my life! Feel free to write about your life! I am here to listen and share... AN ILLUSION CALLED “LIFE”! It was a celebration when I was born Smiles on my parents’ faces were evident An expectation that I was unaware of Grew larger and bigger As the years went by As a kid, I was loved by one and all Even though, I lived in my own fantasyland Playing, stealing, lying and learning The so-called reality of life First with disbelief and then with intelligence I was taught to obey everything Much to my disliking I was expected to please one and all So what if, I was getting hurt in the bargain I gradually became aware about life I wanted to live life my way Each time people stopped me to do so though My parents, teachers, society and law Each one expected something out of me I was, however, not ready to please everybody I suffered! I even succeeded at times The envious world laughed at me Many felt vindicated doing so Looking at them I felt pity Because I am still living life my way While I am living in the world I have never became a part of it I defied the logic of the world Expectation shattered Each one left me in my own world Living in my own world I realized how each one of us Try to pose what we are not Just like the illusion the mirage creates Bringing happiness and miseries alike Life is an illusion We humans have created to please ourselves While everyone enjoys seeing the mirage They also suffer when they try to posses it Life? Well, the expectations still lingers on… Johnny D 26th September 2006
