I met a traveller
Long ago
Seeds of curiosity
They sow
She told me the sunshine
Never mentioned the rain
She told me paths divine
Never mentioned the pain
She told me about the beauty
Of this mystical terrain
She told of the mighty
But never the vain
And while some may say it’s cheating
Just a way to make fame
Hiding the bad parts, deceiving
Once I started travelling, I did the same
It’s not that you stray
It’s just that you forget
While narrating the glorious pathway
The pain is just a step.
