Is it Really Easy to Live a Lie?

gaurav-luthra Poems

They said, “The easiest thing is to live a lie”, Is it really that easy? The story took place couple years back, That night, I cannot forget. That evening, I don’t want to face. Because I lied to not just a friend, To myself, To my parents beliefs. I lied because, I was afraid to lose a friend. So yes, it was an easy option. After the meet in the evening, We went separate ways, Back to home. That night, I wanted to sleep but my eyes gave up, I wanted to eat but my stomach gave up, I wanted to write but my fingers gave up, I wanted to cry but tears dried up, 4 hours went by, Just walking here and there thinking, What happens if he finds out? I will lose a friend And once again alone I will be. It was now 1:00 AM, Night as dark as dark can be, I went out and sat under a tree, My heart was afraid but my brain gave up, I could feel the blood rushing through my heart but, My brain boggled with the same thought. This feeling, I pray none of you ever feel. So, I repeat my friends, It is not easy to live a lie. Telling the truth and making someone cry, Is better than telling a lie and making someone smile.
