How do they do it?

In marriage!

How do they keep their grins active?

Yet there is always deception within it.

Every day, more people lie and cheat.

~

Only the strongest hearts can keep it protected.

They are the ones who stay in it forever.

Only non-overthinkers can survive in it.

Acting dumb appears to be a strategy.

To those who are stuck in it.

~

Other people find satisfaction in concealed tears.

Yet, they are facing suffering and deception.

Helpless people keep enduring hardships.

However, a phoney smile is their daily meal.

Some are actually happy in it, which shows how fortunate they are.

~

Some find themselves in danger.

Just because of being in it.

Some were killed within it.

That's how bad things happened within it.

Marriage!
