Had I known
Had I known it like this will be
I will have for it got prepared
No one had given me a clue
Of what tussle I have got ahead.
Shall I not but say it is dimly
Kept as secret to my cradle heart
But right now it's unveiling
Getting clearer in my tumult path.
The falsity and fantasized reality
Are nothing but a pool of lie.
As a lady,I had this mentality
That at adult,all life gold will be mine.
The truth has spoken for itself
For time ticks In a hurrying beat
It's hard to uphold my nerve
As adulthood is turning me unfit.
About this poem
A revelation of what life is ,and a contrast of truth and falsehood.
