If You Were There

They say I've wealth fame name. What else I need?

And they are absolutely right.

I've everything, they always yearn for.

Many fans admirers to love adore: They are crazy for a glance,

I am a superstar, after all.

My charming cute killer smile

Can warm the the coldest heart.

Always brimming with positive vibes.

Only if someone ever tried to remove the veil I wear

You wear mask to prevent the spread of the disease

I wear this smiling mask to cover conceal the depressing disease thriving within.

I can't cry my heart out, I'm a man of this stereotypical society,

Then too a celebrity, a public figure

People look up to me.

I've friends for partying, celebrating my happiness

But none to listen to my sobbing crying heart.

It's all becoming so heavy murky

I'm drowning in my own cobweb like thoughts

Drenching in my own silent sorrowful tears.

I want someone to come and put loving arms around me, so that I can cry;

Someone to come and say- "It will be alright."

I know, I need to talk about my anxiety, fear, worries.

I tried. Believe me, I did but still I couldn't.

If there were someone who could read the pain of these eyes.

There is mechanical laughing sound around,

and I'm forlorn alone.

My peace of heart is falling.

I'm holding it up. I'm trying. I'll not surrender.

Afterall, I taught you how crucial is life; you shouldn't end it.

I'm trying hard: Is someone listening?

Do save me from drowning. Take me to the silent shore. Just a helping hand will do it.

I'm trying. Anyone's there?

I'm drowning and I drowned.
