So I put my pen to paper
Once again
Poured my thoughts
Of love and sin

Let it drip
Let it drop
Let it flood
Never to stop

Though my river of pain
Feels much like the ocean
It is not vast nor majestic
It is shallow and domestic

It goes ignored
The pollution is poison
But it is oh so beautiful
Smile at the innocence of children
Who have no idea of the pain in stored

How life is so bitter
Pain is so real
Pleasure is so quick
You might forget to feel

I once read that a man can die a thousand deaths
Before he is to take his final breath
I've died this last week
Or so to speak.

"Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it."

"Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles."

-Confucius
