Sometimes beauty can be a beast
The last, often, really is the least
Some wolves are clothed like sheep
Hugs mean more than kisses deep
Cheaters almost always win
The tongue is the sharpest arch assassin
Nightmares are for those who fear to dream
Abstinence will but intensify your craving
Procrastination is the alibi of unwillingness
Promises are only reminders of broken promises
Death is tantamount to absence
Insecurity is a crime often committed in silence
Humility is some people’s greatest pride
It’s sometimes fun to be in the dark side
The best things in life are forbidden
And the greatest lessons are yet unlearned.

I like the depth in this - your list gives the reader a lot to ponder.
I don't think many have all of this figured out at 22 - seems to take most of us more time than that....lol
nice job
thank you for your entry
best wishes in the contest

Not sure if at 22 I had all of this figured out yet...but I sure do now!
Thanks for sharing your talent!
Best wishes in the contest and always!
Write on and on...

Well said,
I wished I had known those things when I was 22, I was too busy riding Chemical highs and chasing fortune and fame to worry about the life's lessons being put before me. Oh well I am learning now.... Better later than never at all!
