Life's Reflection

Everything is a spectacle, as long as it's happening to others,

We watch and we laugh, never feeling the smothers.

The pain and the tears seem so far away,

Until it’s our turn, and we’re caught in the fray.

We point and we judge, as if we are wise,

Blind to the truth, that behind every smile, someone cries.

For when the storm shifts, and shadows find home,

We learn life’s a mirror, not just a show to roam.

In the end, we all walk the same fragile line,

What happens to others, one day can be mine.

So let’s offer kindness, before our hearts harden,

For today we are safe, but tomorrow’s uncertain.
