A Stage Drama; A Poem on Life

^{Standing on the stage,}

^{A lively girl of small age.}

^{Eager to act the role,}

^{With a happy inner soul.}

^{Having a candle in her hand,}

^{She was there just to stand.}

^{All was good at the start,}

^{But then came the candle’s part.}

^{Flickering flame on its head,}

^{Caused the pain to spread.}

^{Carrying fire in its heart,}

^{Candle cried with an art.}

^{Slowly, it began to melt,}

^{Left the life it hardly dealt.}

^{Burning fury ate it all,}

^{Caused its wax run to fall.}

^{Dripping wax embraced the girl,}

^{It burnt her hand, but no skirl.}

^{With every drop of hot wax,}

^{That little girl had pain attacks.}

^{As everyone was watching her,}

^{She set a smile to conquer.}

^{She held the pain for so long,}

^{Unlike candle, she was strong.}

^{The only thing that happened,}

^{Her gusto was all blackened.}

^{Finally, the act came to end,}

^{Cheers! She ceased to pretend.}

^{With the falling of curtains,}

^{She lightened all her burdens.}

^{There was a huge clap,}

^{All the act was just fab.}

^{Behind the curtains, she screamed,}

^{But in front, she stood esteemed.}

^{She wore the pain with grace,}

^{Differing her from Candle’s case.}

^{Candle cried with a bawl,}

^{Hence, it cracked in front of all.}

^{The girl smiled in contrast,}

^{Acting well in the cast.}

^{No one knew her flaws,}

^{Instead, she gained an applause.}

^{From this story, we learnt,}

^{No one cares who burnt.}

^{Be strong and try to deal,}

^{Don’t reveal but conceal.}

^{All the pains will go,}

^{One by one in a row.}

^{Come to make you strong,}

^{To live the life, you belong.}

^{No one pays heed to you,}

^{When shedding tears like dew.}

^{So, take action with a smile,}

^{Howling in the crowd is vile.}

^{Remember the fact of life,}

^{The only way to survive;}

^{Bulk love to laugh with you,}

^{Rare offer your cuts to sew.}
