"um?"-me ;9


A world without pain

A world without sorrow

A world with white stain

A world with the same tomorrow

A world lacking empathy has nothing to gain

A world lacking lows can only joys borrow

A world dry has lost its rain

A world looking sweet but inside bitter like yarrow

A world of grey smiles true joy a strain

A world for those who've seen dark and light would harrow

Your perfect world would be sad and dull. My eyes love the spectrum from dark to light whole. A perfect world hides misery and lonlieness, its no diamond, though earth is still coal.

"It Will Be Good." (complicated semi-spiritual emotional story.)

"Upon his bench the pieces lay
As if an artwork on display
Of gears and hands
And wire-thin bands
That glisten in dim candle play." -Janice T., Clockwork[love that poem, dont know why, im not steampunk]
