The City Is Tired

The city is tired; 

(She is expressing her views about the people)

I am carrying so much of the burdens.

I saw daily the tons of emotions

I feel the pain of the people.

I am suffering too;

But I held the people like a family.

I saw the two sides of the coin here.

Not only that, but I saw beauty turns into a beast,

And beast turns into saint here.

I saw the hunger for food is overtaking the hunger for sex.

I guess I got the reason for existence.

People are running behind the outer pleasure for materialistic things,

And their soul is crying like she has nothing.

I saw someone who seems to be busy, but he was alone searching for peace.

I saw the people with multiple faces.

I saw somebody, fed up with his life

He is broken from inside,

It seems like he hasn't smiled for a decade,

But at the next moment,

He saw her parents and cover his brokenness, with the mask of a smile.

I also started carrying 1000s of masks,

To hide my feelings,

To inspire the people, 

I become their guide.

But at last, I realize,

 I am a student,

Of this wonderful creature carrying Life.

Now, my pain is just fly above the sky

I got courage with this small creature having a soul inside.

I am ready again by wearing a mask,

I am lucky enough to bring together the people with their life. 

I am the ringmaster of this circus,

Shimmering inside.
