THE ACTOR



He cracks up a joke,
Puts up a smile,
Listens to their problems,
Calms them down.

He goes back home,
Looks into the mirror,
"What a day!" he says,
"Perfect performance" he exclaims !
The smile withers away as if,
They were glasses over his face.

He then picks up a frame,
With a black and white photo,
His wife,
With a mischievous smile,
The only soul who asked,
How "he" was,
Now lost in that infinite sky,
Twinkling brightest to make him say,

"Darling Hi" !!

The half burnt face, the burnt and disfigured left arm, and the unseen scars on his mind which were the painful of all, a gift from the society and its people, that he endured for so long and still continues to do so, every single day. Often looking, rather peeping out of the window, he gets lost in his thoughts and strolls back to that day which changed him fo...
