All that glitter isn't gold but loneliness inside by Arabian Oud {R}

Walking past crowded places and on your own, you feel so lonely today.
Friends soon become strangers, how strange,

we befriend strangers and become friends and then it goes back to their origins.
I thought holding back to his memories would give me peace but they haunted me,
Then someone came and wiped away tears for time being, not knowing he would multiply them,
Pain escalated and soon I started sinking, sinking in darkness and silence...
As the hustling takes place, I am stagnant and deaf to the sound of the music,
I miss you today my dear friend, where are you? I can't simply find you,
I framed you in my memories and etched your words in my brain so deeply,
Every moment I breathe goes in the past tense and I am afraid of myself,
Unwanted, lonely and what not, the list of words continue from here on,
All that glitter that sparkles, it's gold as you come closer, it becomes an ugly creature.
People around but soon fade as their purposes fulfil, so here I am alone again,
In the midst of the city, I am distressed and speechless, so lonely and misunderstood.

MISUNDERSTOOD- by Arabian Oud {R}

MISUND ERSTOOD At first they you pretend you care, But in reality you were ignorant, You offered help by lipservice, Nothing practical at all, Everytime I was depressed, You thought it was plain drama, Kept saying 'grow up girl', Changes were noticed slowly, The one day you went away, Here I was seeking love and support, Even my friends abandoned me, Everytime they met,it was about them, I pondered on what I had achieved, But there was no answer at all, They don't understand my problems, They never asked, expecting my life go-lucky, Here I am, Sitting on the bed, surrounded by dark walls, Tears keep flowing down nonstop, Wished there was someone by my side, Wiping them away, hearing my pain out, They call me names and think I am bad, They simply don't know my story, Love they say, is a medicine, But I seest that not, it only gives pain, They all called me immature and left, My heart was broken, the music stopped playing, Violins of my heart cried out so bad, Wished, the...

WHY WEAR A MASK? by Arabian Oud {R}

Why do some people wear a mask and betray you by showing to you they really care, love and like you but in reality they don't. They could be using you for a certain purpose, behave like your best pal but when their purpose is over, they vanish away in thin air, like they never existed around you. Over the recent times, I have come to experience this with a lot of people around me. When such people are confronted or questioned, they pretend they don't know what I am talking about. They turn into a deaf and dumb person. They are full of hypocricies, behaving to me your best friend but back stabbing you. There is a wonderful saying, which I shall like to share with you all, here it goes- 'A scorpion will always bite you, not because it has any enemity against you, but because it's part of it's nature.' No matter how much you do for someone they would possibly think they are special and deserve it all and in return they don't do a single thing for you. People h...
