The Hidden Truths

Looks can be deceptive

What is visible might not be true

There may be hidden feelings

Some might not feel what they do.

Who are we to judge?

Who are we o comment?

It’s better to keep our mouths shut.

Than to later lament.

We can’t see all,

We don’t know everything

There are hidden truths

There are links within links.

A.

Human nature is to criticize,

Human nature is to blame

We love to prove ourselves right

We love to put everyone to shame.

We think we are the best

We think we are always right

This tampers with our judgment

This narrows our sight.

We love those who love us

And we hate those who criticize

We love o hear praises

Even if they are all lies.

We support those who praise us

And ignore those who try to change us

We don’t even stop to think,

That the latter might be trying to help us!

We are quick to blame

But slow to forgive

We are quick to hate

But slow to love and let live.

And then when it hits us,

We try to apologize.

Then we realize that the ones who truly love us

Are the ones who used to criticize

We say sorry and hope to be forgiven,

But we realize that it’s too late

Our well wishers have vanished

And left us to our fate.

B.

A person might appear something

And be something else

We admire the pearls

But who looks inside the shells?

Pearls are beautiful externally,

But do you know how they are made?

They are formed due to irritation,

They are formed when dust is laid.

We admire the diamonds,

But who likes coal?

We worship snakes,

Who goes inside their hole?

Nobody is perfect,

No one is sans fault

No one is what he seems to be,

Everyone has a secret vault.

She might appear confident

She might seem to consider herself above all.

Yet she might want to be loved

She might want affection like a doll.

She might appear to be haughty,

She might seem to be a brat.

But she might be soft on the inside

Did you ever consider that?

We are quick to judge

We are too quick to blame

Yet we never stop to think

That our reason might be lame.

Just because she appears to be over confident

Doesn’t mean she is!

For all you know, she might be all broken inside

But that’s a fact we miss.

She could be the lowest on self esteem

And could just be putting on a brave face

She might appear focused

And yet be in a daze.

But just coz we are “close” to her,

We feel we know her all

Though in reality, she might be a mystery

And we might not understand her at all.

But did we ever bother to try?

Did we ever bother to really know her?

No. because we are too busy making judgments

We have no time to understand her

And by the time we realize our mistake,

She has gone too far

Now, we have lost the opportunity to get to know her

Coz she’s no longer in our power.

Fed up of our non caring attitude,

She has withdrawn herself from us

She is upset that we never bothered

That we considered her a fuss.
