DRUNK IN REALITY

Drunkenness steals composure

But frees the inner child

Armed robbery steals properties and lives

But pays men in security

Cheating hurts hearts

But fills the void at some point

One considered ugly

Makes the beautiful stand out

Treason is unpardonable

But cautions us to watch our backs

Learning is difficult

But opens the gates of the beauty of knowledge

Gossiping is disgusting

But makes the sinfuls stand on their toes

Criticism is a huge bitter pill

Which cures armatures and trains their skills

God’s theory lives for hope

But it scares souls from living free

I am one who will see it all

The ugly side as well as its beauty

You can love me for it

Or hate me, this side of me cannot change.

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

Agreed, everything has an opposite and even though the negative aspects of life are very hard to deal with they do have volumes to teach. Well written. Thank you for sharing.
