Life is so self-consuming; at every step you find a new hurdle. The moment you cross a hurdle, there stands another hurdle jeering at you. If you try to find solace in someone close then life will disappoint you with the realization that the person who are standing around you trying to give you comfort with their soothing words are actually sneering at you from inside and waiting for the moment you get entrapped by the hurdle and fall; fall hard on your face; and that will be their victory. Victory of what even they are not aware of but still they do feel victorious. Such is the irony set by life itself and you don’t have anything to do with it but just tolerate the turmoil with a poker face. Poker face to hide your emotions and sentiment of feeling hurt; poker face to prove that world that you give a damn to everything else while you bleed to death from within.
But can a poker face always help you in hiding your true emotions. May be for some people who have mastered the act of presenting a poker face over the years; but for novices it’s a matter of luck. As keeping up a poker face requires a great effort and mental strength to overcome the volcano of feeling rising on the surface of your heart to present the world a damn look of the poker face.
The treacherous motive of the world around us and the betrayal of our wishes by life itself have led to the intervention of poker face in everyone’s life. Poker face is the ultimate weapon against the deceitful senses of others that tend to traumatize our mind and the very existence of us. Most of us have misled by our innocent instincts to be surrounded by perfidious minds that leave an open and unattended wound to haunt us for the rest of our lives. These incidents not only snatch away our innocence but also make us either indifferent to the world bearing a poker face or lose ourselves emotionally trying to be indifferent.
Ironies of life have outstretched themselves to such an extent that has left its mark as well as its trail, and we are left to deal this torture with a poker face. But Why???
