Delusion

By Kaustuv M Talukdar

So hard to say,

Just a word away,

The reality is a delusion,

Nothing but just an illusion,

The pretending happy life,

Like walking on a knife,

The peace of mind,

Any way to find!

Alas! the battle is lost,

Never could imagine what it cost,

The emotions that flow,

Never saw it to glow,

The tears that fall,

So tiny so small,

Its all emotion,

Life's harsh motion,

Tired, afraid, alone,

Mind's in a red zone,

So dark it seems,

Can't find a way to the dreams,

Have came a long way,

No strength to stay,

A path of sorrow,

Ray of light! could I ever borrow,

All seems to be a delusion,

Nothing but just an illusion,
