The fallacy of marriage
I thought when we got married all our problems would just clear up.
I thought when we got married things would be much better.
I thought when we got married things would go back
to those romantic days, when I met her.
But things haven’t changed,
in fact, things have only got worse.
And marriage it seems has become
a living curse.
And I keep blaming her,
and she keeps blaming me!
And our marriage counselor keeps blaming
both of us.
But I’m slowly coming to the idea,
that it’s me all along.
I’m coming to this idea
as I get more strong.
I’m looking at my life in a different way.
I’m looking at my wife in a different way.
I’m looking at our strife in a different way,
and coming to the understanding that,
“marriage is a beautiful thing”.
