... FLAWED REALITY ...

Please, do you think it's better to stand alone, than to be with Many?

Better to have little, so we can appreciate it when we have Plenty..

Sometimes don't you think it's better to go through the storm before the Calm?

Even way better to go through the pain, before we apply the soothing Balm..

Why? You may wonder...

Because most time we only seem to appreciate the Gain,

When we've only seen or gone through the hurt and Pain..

Sometimes, we don't cherish what we truly possess or Have,

Only when we realise it was almost lost or butchered in Half..

Sometimes, we simply cherish the sun's heat cause of the Cold,

We come to accept the truth, after we've first accepted the lies Told..

At times too, we go after copper or silver when in hand we have true Gold,

We seek frivolous materials, then later, realize we have a beautiful hand to Hold..

That's why sometimes maybe it would be good to cry first before we Laugh,

Somehow to lose our path, so as to know the best way to re-plot our Graph..

Sometimes maybe it would be good to be poor first, so as to appreciate legit Wealth,

Maybe it'd be nice to fall ill, that would help us to value the essence of good Health..

Because...

Many atime, we don't notice the presence of someone until they're Gone,

We can't see something's benefits until it's core value and worth is Done..

We seem to take for granted things that others beg for, desire or Crave,

We come to realize the beauty of life, simply when we are close to Grave..

It hurts how people would throw away what could bring them eternal Joy,

How they could trash a beautiful heart like a mere broken piece of Toy..

It's sad, that the one they ought to make their life's partner and close Friend,

Would be the person they push away and don't bother nor worry how it Ends.

It's sad that in our everyday interactions, we ignore the bigger picture for short-lived Enjoyment,

We prefer not to focus on what's essential and choose the wild goose chase Entertainment.

We care more about the praises and compliments we receive, rather than be the Complement,

When the strength, energy and reasons to move on is gone, we ought to be their Supplement.

... Sometimes, we simply know the truth, we clearly see the Disparity, still we prefer to focus on the fairytales and life's Flawed Reality ...
