Dear Pal, 

Do you know what it is like to live a life where you are caged ? 

Where you are everything, you never asked for.

Where everyday is just burden and obligations?

Where everyday is just another stress and mental break down?

I am living a life in mask. I mask this pretty little smile and pretentious act of "Being okay."  

Sometimes, this tangled knots stabs me so hard, I feel myself bleeding red. 

At times I even feel my tears wailing more than it should. I cry my night to sleep. As I close my eyes, it just reflects every trauma I witnessed when I was just a child. 

It remembers the torture, the hue and cry, the fights and the pain. 

So explicitly that I cry...

Such a life it is. Worrisome and burdensome
