Life is surprising, exhilarating, engaging and totally ironic...
We pretend at a loss as reality struck us Dilemma seizes us when we are at a fork Wickedness comes our way despite all our goodness Opportunist takes advantage of our vulnerability and we allow them We utter belittling words and forget we said them Some events shake us even though we are steadfast We go against nature yet blamed it for our misfortune And call our wrong actions as reactions Deceiver plays on us while we are too trustful We look for something we already have Kindness and beauty overwhelm us We think fulfilling our duties as doing a favor We are adamant to share but rejoice when we receive. We contend ourselves that happiness is just a state of mind That though others hurt us, we can’t simply ignore them We long for something we know we can’t have We say sorry yet repeat the same mistake Our actions differ from what we say. We want development but afraid to change and of changes Narcissism is mistaken for love to oneself. We dream big but do little or nothing to achieve Accepting advice makes us feel inferior We expect to be loved despite our arrogance And we live yet forget to exist.
