I Am Not Playing.... Poem by Neeharika Sharma

Hey I am not like this
its all fake
I know I have symptoms
but it's all baked

I was a small creature
the way I am now
but, hardships of the world
made me a clown

Now,
you all laugh on me
thinking
I am here to entertain
but you forget
that I am just like you
human and sane

So,
tell me why do u giggle
why do u shout
when I try to mingle
when i try to be stout

Ohhhh
this life reminds me of a circus
the only difference is
that i am not playing
just trying to live
like everyone else does......
