Compromise

There are times, one hide the truth and go with the flow
To just be quiet, and thus, go through
To be lead, mislead, and only just follow
A compromise, is what follow suit.

There are times, when a smile appear
The joy disappeared
The truth within is further than near
A compromise, for the one who is so dear.

There are times, looking up to the skies
So much peace, so much serenity
When all one is accountable for is just 1 person, only
A compromise, that doesn't require a split personality.

A step behind, for someone else to step ahead
Standing in the corner, looking on, afraid
Aching in the heart, with arms wide open
A compromise, where sadness heightened.

A compromise should not be a choice to give up to give in
To say that there is a win-win situation, with alternative
There should never even be a compromise
This life shouldn't be run like a business trading
When all that is required in harmony, is respect
That all are different and distinctive, and attributes of life spectacle
It is not about compromising
It is about accepting.
