Predicament
Like the knife the wool cuts,
Till it bleed thy broken heart,
Once a certainty now buts,
Now my heart is truly shut.
Hatred seems to be men's best friend,
Shattered thy trust as far as it can,
Envy another is sort of a trend,
Beauty of looks heart of an empty can.
Wish that men could make amend,
Hope they'll be as kind as they can,
To shine as bright as the wisest enlightenment,
To put an end to a life predicament.
