My Life: A Reality or a Fallacy

Bhatnagar posted under PenMuse-55 Poetry on 2023-09-18



Privileged to be born with silver spoon in the palace and amongst the riches Dancing with pride, I was over the moon Never kept my feet off the rug At the fate of poor people, I always shrugged As a baby, getting milk in gold plate Even though never tasted mother's milk Still I have always bragged about my fate Cradle made of 24 carat gold I am the luckiest, I was told A Personal chauffeur and a nanny Were proudly being hired to care for me Almost replacing my mom and granny But I was charmed With the media, my room was always swarmed treated with most expensive clothes and toys And playdates with aristocrats' children Became my proud and everlasting joys Though, I see dad less often Still I gave my life my ten on ten Until I saw those so called poor children Who are always being loved and cared for Happiest without palaces or gardens In them, I saw contentment, empathy And the joy of having loved ones around Which jolted me out of my fantasy Am I living a life in fallacy?
