Euphemism

Euphemisms all.
Is this world full of euphemisms or,
Is there a reality?
Life is full of euphemisms
How do I remain sane in such a world?
I seek reality, happy or sad
but give me a dose of reality, not euphemisms
They keep you drugged
Under a stupor
incapable of facing reality.
Give me reality
no euphemisms, please.

  1. Euphemism...does exist...however, only in language! How I wish if at all people could use it in behaviour as well...they remain as blunt, harsh, rude and insensitive as possible!
    Laya, your expressions are praiseworthy; however, I belong to a different school of thought. But, very well expressed!

    1. Dear Sharmila,
      I don't like soft words as they keep you away from reality.
