I know how it feels
To see your biggest fears become real
You think you can compare
But I guarentee you, it's rare

My life is a dimming light
Don't complain as yours burns bright
This is pathetic, look at me
Someone come and set me free

My eyes me yours
And you start to feel the sores
With just one look you see
The sadness inside of me

The author's comments:
I wrote this when I was going through a lot of sad things and I had someone tell me that it was nothing compared to the pain they felt. I respect everyones situaton but I lost someone and they had a minor problem.
