Hidden Little Truth
Avis Trump *
I know everyone pretends of not getting offend,
Trying hard not to let it slip through.
Hiding it beneath that fake smile,
With absolute pain.
I know!
Though you may say its a joke,
I know it is no joke,
For i am not dumb, to be fooled.
There always lies some kind of judgement,
In there somewhere.
Probably hinting at something about me which bothers you.
It is clearly visible in your eyes,
And through your sarcastic smile.
I know!
You framing it as a joke,
So as when a fight ensues,
You need not have to take,
the responsibility for the chaos u ignited.
I know!
Oh dear compassionate,
For how long do i have to take your help,
I ain't a saint, nor a vermin,
Just an ordinary man with equal emotions.
You must know!
Insecurities follows me,
But i am with a hope that you will learnt,
So am going along
But the road's getting tougher,
And I may break down in the middle.
I know you mean no harm,
But i am sensitive which you must know.
I ask for little sensibleness from you,
No less, no more.
Insane i am to you,
For my thinking is little different.
Respect i demand for my opinions.
Is that too much to ask for?
The world is cruel, and we must acclimatize,
Little things we should take care of,
To keep going on.
Respect me and i will respect you too.
That's all i have left to say.
