Love Poem: You Think You Are Strong

You Think You Are Strong

You think you are strong, 
You think you have control over yourself, 
But then, Circumstances lay their violent hand on you,
And all your strengths get shattered into pieces like a glass on rock,
Your eyes betray you
Tears start rolling down your face
Your voice begins to tremble
Your heart lowers its music
So may reasons and justifications you give
How weak you feel, how unworthy, 
You know in your heart, and you tell it to them
Nothing wrong have you done
Your views and opinions are not nonsense
But they don’t care… 
It all seems a drama to them,
Or just a natural penance! 
They too, might feel bad in their hearts,
But they show it not, 
They are, after all, bigger masters
Of hiding their emotions
Why they feel like expressing their love will make them weak
And that they Will lose control and authority over you
 If they act according to your will
So, as usual, they wrap another layer of anger over love
Instead of saying “it’s okay”, they yell
And you feel like a bird, broken, lying in a cage
And if you dare to respond back
It will take the argument to another level
Nothing will be left
Nothing, without regrets and sorrows 

Is this life too long to love or to live happily? 
Do we have to make it hell to live it??
