Would you care to fathome this?
The fact that my life's without bliss.
Surely this must be a crime.,
Happiness is my wish
Dreams written down as a list.
Is the American Dream not mine?
The memories of yesterday I miss.
This unfair and cruel world I should dis,
But then what would be of my life?

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
- Maya Angelou
When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Love that ryhme plus the theme is so beautiful and thought-provoking....But hey, DOn't be so sad, No one, REPEAT no one's life is without bliss, mostly we just fail to see where that bliss is hidden ...Have joy!! FOr if you look aorund you have more than many,
