#RedHeels

She is all the beauties of the world
When she walks in those red heels.
With her lips painted red
And her face painted with clay
One would expect that her heart is as pure
Or beautiful, even in pretense!


But no,
The symmetry of her smile
And the pains in her heart
Relate inversely


Behind
those closed doors
Those tight fitting shoes
The story is totally different.


Long ago,
We were taught that
Beautiful girls were like Pocahontas
Whose looks would fight poverty and injustice right in the face.
Of course,
Beauty now fights poverty
But in its place
Is a greater war
Of pain, loneliness and insecurity


The red heels
Are like an empty parcel;
Ever shining,
But vanity!


Nowadays it hurts to be beautiful
For more often than not,
You are in deception over its power.
But like the promises of the Wish master,
The promises beauty offer will finish
And those red heels will be lost
You will be a Cinderella
Looking for her lost shoe
Forever lost in the belly of a whale
Forever
Lost
In the belly
Of
A whale

Life in color 
Smiles in monochrome.
Real life behind a cracked screen 
Fake life captured in a beautifully edited photograph.

The smile in the photo is laconic 
But plants a million jealousies 
In those who press the like button on instagram.

But there is more
Which you may not know.
The phone that captured that flawless photo 
If it had lips would advise its master 
To work hard on his real life 
As how he does on his social media life 

The phone has been a witness to the tears and insecurities
Of the person you want to be. 

If the phone was like the moon 
It would put more light on the dark side of the boy or girl
You want to be on instagram.

It's just Instagram

And what you will see is

The best part of people's life.

Life is more like a video

Than a smiley picture.

Don't be fixated on things that stops and stares at you

For

Real happiness can often not be captured
