Legend Or Lies Poem by Asma Khan

Who promised to walk till the last step?
Life is but an unplanned journey of
enormous dos and don'ts

Who stands to watch you leaving?
Life is but an unfaithful friend who
betrays in the moment of trust

Who asks to be patted on the back when broken down?
Life is but an unwanted wish
to be lived and cherished

Who claims to share the burden with you forever?
Life is but a fruitless tree of duties and
cares to serve without expecting

Who bore the desires to have you forever?
Life is but an engaging chess play that
never aids anything that it stands with

Who pays you back for all your good deeds?
Life is but an intruder to take away all
your breaths, breath by breath

Who answers your prayers in rain and shine?
Life is but a quest of battles and conflicts
to combat till your last breath

Who lived up to all his desires?
Life is but an incomplete dream that
opens your eyes to this truth
