Live once and for all.

  Why hide a sad face,

With a happy cheerful mask?

Be really happy!

Why fake a false smile,

When you can roar a loud laugh?

Why be sad at all?

Why die thousand times 

Weeping, feeling low inside?

Live once and for all!

We are always masking our original feelings by fake ones to show. Why not make the good mask our real face and discard all the bad masks once and for all ? Why not forever be happy and live life for all we know! Cheers to happiness!

This Haiku is written for Haiku Heights. The prompt for this week is 'MASK'.

Truth likes to travel bare feet.

 

Truth travels bare feet

People disguise it with lies

Yes, for tricks and treats

Basking in glory

How far before it's unmasked?

Verity prevails

Too little too late 

Life and it's ways of teaching

Cognizant of heart

Truth is one constant in life that never changes. Truth is simple. People complicate it by dressing it up in a variety of layers of lies. But how far can truth travel in the heat of the burden before it starts shedding it's layers to be bare and naked again. Then, the heat of the wrath caused is much more than ever. Strange are the ways of life sometimes. When you wrong, everything goes right... and finally when you decide and do the right thing, everything tumbles down! It's a hard life with truth by your side.. but don't let go.

Behind that elusive mask!

 With bright twinkling eyes

His impish grin fascinates 

Sweet manners ooze out

Charmer of people

Favorited by good and bad

Basks in his glory

Goes back home silent

Possessing elusive traits

Takes off happy mask

It's never easy or right to judge people by their appearances. A happy face might have a huge deal of misery masked cleverly. There are loads of people who believe in spreading only smiles and joy, keeping their problems and sorrow to themselves. Understanding these special ones is a Herculean task, succeeding which opens a gate to that undisclosed territory where trespassing is not allowed!
