I wonder sometimes! (poem)

I wonder sometimes about things as I thought they were…were they?
I wonder sometimes about that look of warmth,
The tear that wrenched its way down your sapience face…were they?
The things we shared of hurt n joy,
The remorse of broken relationships & their aftermath,
The divinity & pains of parenthood,
Was it for real or just pantomimes of what I wanted to see?

I wonder sometimes about the past,
Some of which were good, some bad & few others…weird!
A potpourri of jumbled thoughts,
A rigmarole of lost souls.

Life goes on no matter what,
No one stops …no matter what,
The relative worth of someone who cared
Is lost in the resounding insinuations.

We scream for deliverance,
Fight for perseverance,
But when felicity stares at us,
We question it’s integrity.

As wisdom catches up & innocence lost,
There’s so much we have learnt…but at what cost?
A simple smile is met by mistrust,
A benevolent gesture is thought to be lust,
How do I get those simple feelings back?
Life is but in the fast lane,
What a shame…what a shame!
