Someone, somewhere, someday said,
“Treat people the way
you want to be treated as”
I wanted to be cared for,
affection, relation
Love!
I reciprocated the same
Giving away care and love
giving smiles away
Unlike the expectations
I got alligations
fingers pointing at me.
Called attention-seeking
and fake;
Someone to be condemned
To be steered away from
Somehow I let an allegation through
like a bullet shattered glass
blood, pain, tears; a mess
Now, I seek a mask
I seek Me!
