Time To Realize

Life has different shades.
You paint your wall with ideal hues.
All you want to have are perfect strokes.
But that is not life... without flaws.

Sometimes you are so cruel.
Belittling others and treating them paupers;
Living like a king and pursuing to rule;
But still you fail to find your own pleasures.

Complaining is your breakfast.
For lunch are your countless sighs,
Exasperating looks are your snacks,
Insuperable pessimism completes your supper.

Life's struggles eat up your days.
Ignoring others as they whisper comforts;
Losing patience controls your vision;
Imperfection is your greatest question.

Realization is always in the end.
Forgiveness is what you really need.
Now hasting for good deeds to impart;
But He says, " Son, it's time to depart."
