Tell Me
Tell me how life should be.
Life, has knocked me down.
Tell me about eternity,
And the origin of your frown.
Tell me how love should be.
Love, has cast me out.
Tell me about humanity,
And the origin of doubt.
Tell me how death should be.
Death, is waiting for me.
Tell me about mortality,
And the origin of all you see.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
