Friendship Journey



We came here hiding
dreams behind a smile,
But we are leaving hiding
tears behind the same smile.

We came here and shifted
to friends from strangers,
But we are leaving and shifting
again from friends to strangers.

We came here and wanted to express everything we felt about people we care,
But we are leaving by hiding everything
we felt because we couldn’t dare.

We came here to socialize
with people and world to impress,
But we are leaving merging with
Clowns and a dynasty of bloody mess.
