by Ehsan Sehgal
I take up the burden of attitude
I secretly pour my tears
I look sympathies as like loans
I hide my sorrows in the smile
I take care of your heart
I bear every injury myself
Can't see, the lies have no feet
What we are making our life
I am very simple, on each lie
I situate in the heart of hope
When the blood doesn't work to burn
I let the candle burn with tears
It is the strange journey of life
I am walking away from myself
I still look forward my soul-mate
I spend my life all alone
I don't get the love in awaking
I dream love in the dreams
