Why Are You So Crazy? Poem by Latha Prem Sakhya

Why are you so crazy?
Things which least bothers others
Troubles and torments you.
What makes you so sensitive
To others as well as your problems?
Your face is like mirror
Reflecting thoughts of your minds
You never hurt anyone purposefully
Even when people hurt you.
People take you for granted
Never sensing or feeling your inner misery
Even your loved ones take you for granted.

Sympathetic, kind, understanding-
Ever ready to help indiscriminately
Your face is always beaming
No one sees the heartache behind it
But sometimes the smile is overcome
The inner turmoil spills tears to flow
As evanescent as dew drops.

But within minutes you are back again
Beaming and smiling on all four
Taking the world as it comes to you.
