You pay the price for the life you live
Sometimes it's not all about the 'FORTUNE'
Many "Rich people", whom you consider all-lucky
Deal with countless misfortunes and pay to get what you say, 'Luck!'
=
A wife you see— cherishing every luxury; all that spice
Has her heels cut and her hands scarred with veins of sacrifice
Edison earned his life, the fame, and the better
A light bulb cost him hardships and teacher's letter
Social media stars seem like having no regret
Their sacrifice of privacy and the unseen debt~
"Woah! All those friends... Your life is prime"
': He radiated his energy, gifts, and time'
"Her baby, her beauty— She's the luckiest mom"
': The 9 months were rigorous than a storm'
=
If they paid and they suffered to get the life they wanted to live
Know that You too have to pay, You have to give

This is so true 💯. Your poem holds a great lesson inside of it. Great job.
Great job on depicting the choices we must make in life. Do you want to write part two of a fiction piece I started?
Deep thoughts here. The wealthiest people are he saddest and most devious - they are not good leaders because they are led by greed and the desire to only work toward that which will fill their bankrolls no matter who gets hurt along the way. Good writing, Maryam!
Yup. A picture is only a moment, it doesn't tell the whole story. Nicely put.
Envy is a stumbling block. Kudos.
This poem is packed with wisdom :)
Yes ! Everything is paid in life . Either it is comfort or the struggle in life ❤️🧬
Great story and writing
Congratulations on your top story Maryam, you deserve it sis!💕🎉
A point that we all should remind ourselves when we see other happy, fortunate people. We only see them when they make it but not the journey they took to get there. Congrats on top story. Loved reading this piece❤️
The literature is outstanding. !

Ohhoo! Back to say congratulations on your TS 🎉😁👏
Ohh! 😃 A/N ki last line bahut achi hai, Asa lagta hai jaise aap ek choti bachhi ki tarah bol rhi ho. Yah is tarah hoga hindi mein " Meri poem padhne ke liye aapka bahut-bahut shukriya" Tumne yah ek majedar khel shuru kiya hai 😃, kamaal hai, sachmuch mujhe bahut pasand aaya yah. 😃😃😃
Ohh! This is so evocative Maryam. Mujhe bhut Pasand Aei tumari poem especially the last line of A/N got me 😊❤️
My native language is Tamil, so here goes: Unnodeh kavithai leh niraiya unmaigal irunthechi. Enakku rombe pudichirenchi. Hahahahaha if you can't translate it, let me know. I'll tell you what I wrote hehehe
Great job Maryam. I love the way it flows but still has thought-provoking content. Nice job! Calvin
