Love Always Prevails Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

My reflection
Monday,12th July 2021

Never a thought occurred
or entered mind
to find my accurate reflection
with the actions or reactions

I had a craze to hear sweet words
from others
to feed my inner ego
that wanted to go with the illusory impression

I went to a clean mirror
posed for self to find out the real exposure
but to my surprise, it showed the same movement as I did
it hides nothing

I knew about myself
I was a scoundrel and lier hidden in the mirror
even though I had earned acclaim
and so much awaited to receive an honour

what do we show outside?
and what do we hide inside?
there is a hell of a lot difference
there is not much to draw an inference

we are accustomed to leading an artificial life
where we show a better side of torn strife
inside it has become urging field
outside calm and quiet nature is held
