It’s not easy being you
the voice of sanity
when madness sells
easy going, laid back
where ambition tells
lengths to which
people will go
till dreams come true
It’s not easy
finding a niche
being visible
attracting eyeballs
repelling moths
fielding calls
It’s not easy moving
at your own pace
leg-less
placed by someone else
in a convenient place
It’s not easy being a fairy tale
when stories unfold all around
each window shares a glimpse
then shuts its pain on you
It’s not easy being you
Reena Saxena 
Nice one, Reena.

I loved the last line, it’s not easy being you. Nobody can understand another person because only they know what they are going through.
