A Beautiful Mess

{Described below is my country}

God needed some drama 
So God created you. 
There might be some trauma 
 But what else is new?

Your a cunning disgrace 
However worthy of praise, 
And your constant strife exceeds you. 

Humble when needed, 
Thankful when treated, 
But no one dare mess with you 

When duty is calling, 
You might get a bit clumsy,
However you fight for what’s true.

When others show dismay, 
You are “stunning and brave”
And then you degrade...you. 

Then the two voices clash 
And you’re once again slashed, 
Straight down the middle. 

Remember, at the end of the day 
Hmm...how do I say, 
You are almost like a riddle. 

But one thing is true 
You have to love you 
If it’s true you want to improve. 

 So take away this, 
When overwhelmed in crisis,  
We must keep a good mood. 

You’re bitter and sweet, 
 But it’s because of good things,
That I desperately love you.
