Hopeful ears help fearful eyes To pick on lies And strip truth naked To dress the lies To present them to mind Banishing glaring truth Into the evil forest of future regrets Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
Author: amoafowaa
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. :)
