Junior Year
Richard Cory was more human than all of us
He felt so much he put a bullet through his brain
It was his humanity that haunted him
The one thing that drove him to exhaustion
Some wear a mask to hide the horrible feelings of the past
But nothing ever lasts
Not the mask to hide our mistakes
Not the mask that hides who we are in fate
Man is the only creature that is cruel
No other creation inflicts pain for pleasure
However, humanity needs to do better
Be the best positive people, as good as we can

I can't quite come up with the terminology
But I know it causes animosity
