Matters of the heart
Matters of the heart;
which is more important
life, wealth, health,
companionship, love?
I am but child
just testing the waters of adulthood
and it seems I'm sinking already.
I know not how to go in nor out,
May be some one can tell me,
show me,
perhaps I should use lead me.
I am at a crossroad!
I'm in a dilemma!
Life is not worth anything
until impact is made,
How can I make impact?
My government is lackadaisical!
My environment is dilapidated!
My Family is nonchalant!
Wealth seems like a daydream!
And the society;
has always been out for the strong.
I am not strong!
My heart is weak and fickle.
Who will teach me? ....
