The Cage of Pretended Happiness

Embrace true freedom

By Rohitha LankaPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Is there any truth

As true as the truth that exists

Knowing, seeing

But pretending not to understand

Not accepting some things that you feel

Force yourself to deceive and accept

Things that hurt your heart

Having to endure being in a cage of feelings

Without thinking about external freedom

Telling yourself to wait

Waiting for some hope

Something that you feel that sometimes it's not true

Stupid happiness, fake happiness

With someone you barely know

Being busy searching for your own happiness

Until you forget to take care of your feelings every day

Day after day

Until you forget to think about the key that is in front of you

Just reach out and grab

Release yourself, release your heart

To a new freedom

That may be greater and more beautiful than before
