I hear every minute detail,
And listen to the wind.
Yet I haven't much to say,
For where would I begin?

I am seduced by my tragedy,
Infatuated with my own sadness.
But I take this as a blessing,
For I am told true art
Never stems from happiness.

If I swallow another pill,
Perhaps soundly I will sleep.
I refuse to address my own problems,
For blessed are the meek.

Truthfully,
I wish it were not this way.
I pray to see the world in colour.
But why would I open my eyes,
Just to watch man destroy one another?
