They All

They all say what is right, they all say I'll be cursed if I get wrong, they all say it...and they'll all say it still

The opposite of sadness

they all say is a smile

 

And across the island of sorrow

they all say is a promised paradise

 

Beyond the darkness of mountains

they all say is a golden sunrise

 

They all say it

they all say beautiful things exist

 

And they all

drag me away from it

Author's Note

Sorry for being dramatic this time... but it's really what I feel. I know I shouldn't be like this because I'm not the only one suffering among the billion souls in this world, but I suddenly feel sad.

There are such deep shadows that can overwhelm us. They block out the sun and hide us from all but the sorrows. May this horrid cloud lift from you, my precious friend. You will never have to carry that burden alone. xx

[SimpleMind]

I hope so Eros.. thanks for wishing me good.. and yes, I am carrying this burden alone but I am not the only one carrying a burden, or am I? hahaha thanks again :)

Feelings are not right or wrong they just ARE and I feel you...This is a deeply sad but honest write, and I think you should continue to write. I really enjoyed the photograph.

Thanks so much .. and yes, they just are and I am human..there's no escaping them..I'm glad though people like you guys still exist

[Gerald Parker]

I'm sorry you're sad and knowing others are so sad too doesn't help. But sharing your sadness helps and so does writing about it.

[SimpleMind]

I agree... it works most of the time :)
