A Thug Snail
Loneliest in the crowd,
Saddest amongst the happiest,
Complicated but not fabricated,
Authentic but appear to be mingled,
Yet, sometimes you acknowledge me as strong,
You see me as brave,
You look upon the brightest smile I give upon you,
But, never trying to interpret the backstage,
The behind scenes,
The sleepless diluted nights,
The agony in my shivering voice,
The pain in my eyes,
No, you only look into my strength,
You wanna see my stoic appearance,
But, never want to measure my depth,
As, I am looking validation in a wrong place,
How can you understand me when you don't have any depth?!
Pretended to be deep but shallow as a hollowed snail, a thug you were!
