I Wish To Be Wise Again

I did a blunder 
Shamelessly i confess 
Once i indulged
In the illusions of hope 
I have two keen   eyes 
But i shut them 
When i needed to see the painful truth 
i have sharp ears 
but i was not brave enough 
to listen the song  of that syren 
the pain turned into a hill 
and i became a beast 
i was never a wise man 
i did a serious blunder 
the beast in me now 
ready to know the whole truth 
ready to face the worst 
even they cost me high 
as i wish to be a wise man again .
