The Beginning of Wisdom is Sadness

 

it is so true
the beginning of wisdom is sadness
only when you soberly recollect
and reflect
upon all your sins and badness
will you ever grow as a person
and rise above all the madness…
It takes being frank and honest
reviewing lies and broken promises…
you can try to be a tank or a turtle
scared of the world
and all the ones that can hurt you…
But being stuck inside your shell
Will only lead to a personal hell…
All those feelings will boil to the surface
No matter how far down you throw them
in your cold, cold, well…
Also, you cannot linger and dwell…
You have to heal somehow!
find closure…
Perhaps a lover…
Someone to kiss and tell…
To have and to hold…
Personally i found beauty to be fleeting
i began to find pleasant voices
to be more valuable than silver and gold…
and much more appealing...
This was upon much introspection
i found many things that needed correction
from over eating to too much stealing
From being callous and cold
or learning to avoid certain powders
and nose bleeding
and yes a desire for fitness
and to wear
smaller sexier underwear 😁…
but i didn’t stop there!
i began to examine other tragic figures
in my life in order to understand
all the traps in which they had become ensnared
Usually it was greed…
some fell to the bottle…
others did things out of want…
but couldn’t figure out their needs…
Various vices are the downfall of many
From vanity to gambling
there were various reasons
that led to loss of sanity and rambling...
Some become heart broken and alone…
Some are surrounded by family…
In unhappy homes…
the beginning of wisdom is sadness
While reviewing my life and the lives of others saddened me…
it was not all tragedy!
i started to see a better way…
i began to learn not just from mine
but other people’s mistakes…
