Habits

gerrylegister

 

 

They will smile and look into your eyes

They’ll avoid the truth,

and you will believe in their lies,

Where the path to hell runs smooth.

 

Our habits are a bit of a riddle, 

A chequered course, no reason to cry

And become emotionally unstable,

The things they convey are hard to die.

 

We see them afterward on reflection,

They paint a smile with different colors.

Opening and cutting through wisdom,

Swallow up virtues held with powers.

 

When the noose holds us by our neck

If in those seconds we had thought twice,

Maybe the mind would have no time to reflect

On the shame bought by such a small price.

 

At least some virtues may remain,

with tears from the eyes, we bled,

A bit of dull pain dangling with shame,

Regret some of the things once said.

    Those things that we do do have consequences but mostly the consequences are from people who think they know better.
