Compromise

I never really understood this word, which lead me to contemplate

Is compromise really so bad, isn’t it just a choice we make?

Do we settle for less than what we want or do we decide our own fate?

What is it about compromise that sometimes gets people irate?

I don’t subscribe to the philosophy of the glass half full or empty

But rather the realist who adds a peg, says cheers and drinks to life

If there is something you truly want or believe in then one would never compromise

So how significant is our want or belief, we need to analyze

Sometimes a compromise isn’t really a compromise ..
