The Real Of Me! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

The Real Of Me!

Rating: 4.8


Often I portray myself as bright and cheerful,
For it's my art of sketching me bold and beautiful.

While drawing a sketch I hide all my dark colors and
All my weaknesses, I mask with bright colors.

I never show what I lack in.
I try to show more than what I am.
I present myself as cheerful,
With a friendly smile.

I give a touch of glow to my lovely face
With fantastic makeups that suits me well
Thereby hiding all the fine lines.
I apply lipstick and wear a beautiful smile.
I paint my gray hair with the lovely color I want
For I want to look bold and beautiful.

Now I look younger and greener than real I am.
I hide all my pain, ugliness, hatred, anger, selfishness,
Behind my beautiful mask of smile.

Don't ever tell,
How beautiful her life is....
All you see me is through
Beautiful mask of smile!

Well, that's the Real Of Me!

A nice poem of masking oneself. Geetha I personally perceive that a self esteemed person never exposes his / her shortcomings or or dreams so easily. He/ she always tries to achieve that by own endeavor, keeping oneself masked. Hence in that sense this masking is a courageous move of an upright individual. Thanks for sharing
