A life filled with sorrow
A place where nothing good ever comes from
Loud cries of mothers
Wailing for their lost
With memories of all we have done
He asked “have you every done something right”
Never “he cried”
The pain one experience
What more can one want
Other than a new beginning
A new chance to start over again
Starting over in a place where you’re free
Free like the eagle in the sky
Soaring toward high places
A new life, where no one will ask
Our sweetest songs are those
that tell of saddest thought
Since our society equates happiness with youth
we often assume that
sorrow, quiet desperation, and hopelessness
go hand in hand with getting older
When i cry so much, it makes me realize that breathing is hard
but now really I'm alone.survive the killing, the starving
but I think maybe now I will die of this
of broken heart
I don't know if it's possible to take hate away from people.
There’s no greater evil in a place
Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves
Melancholy is the happiness of being sad
