compromise

Howdy all? Its been a long time I’ve posted anything on here. Few reasons caused this but I’m back now. Missed me? I know you did. Today I have a short piece on compromise. I hope you learn a thing or two. Do enjoy;

I take your joy,
I steal your peace..little by little
Till you stand in front of the mirror and can’t recognise who you are anymore.
You who was so principled,
who had guidelines set,
Things sworn never to do or be a part of.
Hehehehe, the jokes on you now!
Sometimes I face you boldly, other times subtly.
The truth is I’m cunning, always have been.
I tell you its okay, no one ever need know.
But that’s a lie, because it can’t be hid from at least 3 persons; God, me and most importantly you.
Of course I never leave you empty handed, I “seemingly” reward you, for the time being that is.
But what I take away is far more invaluable and precious.
And when confronted with the truth, you begin to question if it was you that actually did such wrong.
I come in different ways to many people; that white lie, that exam malpractice, that bribe, that drink, that girl, that guy, that office practice, that habit etc and the list goes on.
My name is Compromise and I’m here to warn you to stay clear of me.
Remember it is far better to have your inner peace than to get mixed up with me.
“A good name is better than……”
