Death

Today he tried to smile again,

thinking he might grow again.

Like showing fake smile while clicking pictures,

that smile was not real.

But with that smile too,

It was hard to believe the situations he went through.

Like fenced ground to protect the growing trees,

He cleverly tried to hide his pain

behind his smile.

It was the way he lit up beneath the lantern,

with flames dancing in the direction of winds.

It showed that he was alright,

Partially....

But at the next moment,

He wilted,

shrivelled,

and died.
