Different Social Masks

PERSONA PARADE


I’ve got so many friends around my side 

A lively crew, always there to confide 

But deep down inside I wonder if it’s true 

Do they see “me” or just the PERSONAS that I do?


Every day I put on a show

Switching masks which one should I grow? 

But amidst the laughter and the dazzling lights 

The fragile truths gets lost in the nights. 


I have friends oh it seems so real 

But their love, is it truly what I feel? 

Caught up in the high of creating these dreams 

Wondering if beneath it all true connection gleams 


In every conversation I share a different part 

A chameleon sliding through unknown to the heart 

They laugh with delight unaware of the charade 

The real “me” hiding in the shadows afraid 


Living in a world of make-believe 

Striving to everything they perceive 

But when curtains close, when darkness prevails 

It’s the loneliness that silently reigns


I have friends oh it seems so real 

But their love, is it truly what I feel? 

Caught up in the high of creating these dreams 

Wondering if beneath it all true connection gleams 


Maybe it’s time to break free from this disguise 

To let them see me once, with no need to fantasize 

For deep within, amidst these personalities 

There’s a longing for genuine camaraderie 


I’ll unravel my layers, strip down to my core 

Find those who see through, to the person I adore 

No longer bound by fictious ties, I’ll let myself be known 

Discovering authentic friendships, where I am not alone….

SLEEP: MY ESCAPE

Image
In the stillness of the night, I seek solace Beneath the covers, I find my escape From the chaos that haunts my waking hours I drift into dreams, a realm of peace Sleep, my refuge from the storm within Where worries and fears lose their grip In the realm of slumber, I am free To wander in realms of possibility The weight of the world lifts from my shoulders As I surrender to the gentle embrace of sleep In the darkness, I find a flicker of light                           A glimmer of hope to guide me through the night I sleep not out of weakness but of strength To replenish my spirit, to find my way Through the labyrinth of doubts and fears I sleep to awaken, renewed and clear So let me close my eyes and drift away To a place where troubles fade to gray In the quiet of the night, I find my peace I sleep, for in dreams, my troubles cease.             BY- SHRADHA BHATIA

A Double Vacation in a Picture Perfect Paradise

Image
A Double Vacation in a Picture Perfect Paradise   My family and I  hadn't gone on a vacation for a very long time, First, there was the first wave of covid in the year 2020, then the second in 2021. It was rough for everyone, many people were stuck at home, and many people lost their job, lost their families, and friends. In 2022, I had my class 10th Board Exams and I was so occupied in that. When my Board exams got over I had finally taken a sigh of relief. So after my exams got over my family and I decided that we should go on a vacation that was much needed. After doing a lot of research we all got to the conclusion that we will go on a vacation, In MANALI,  amidst the hilly slopes, is a paradise for mountain lovers with spell-binding views, charming streams, the fairy-tale-like fog surrounding little hidden cottages, and a lingering scent of pines and freshness. Delhi to Manali the route is a little over 12 hours(541. Km ), so we decided to first take a halt...
