Sometimes I just think that cats are better than people
They just eat and sleep and lick themselves--that's simple
Cats only scratch furniture and my skin
But people can scratch me to the deepest within

Sympathy is just nothing
We can't place ourselves in the shoes of others
If they don't fit in the first place

He could have been the greatest
If he weren't only hidden in the darkness

Please handle with care: this one is fragile
Don't be fooled by its bright smile
Even it may look hard and strong on the outside
It easily gets broken in the inside

Our life is not an easy task,
And we can't hide from it with a mask.
But we should remember to take a break sometimes,
So we can enjoy the best of times.

How nice it was to see our flowers bloom
But now the roses are black, and I feel blue
Our garden has reached its doom

Think that I've heard that song before—from its first to last word;
Its cheerful melody really tickled my ears.
It calmed my senses every time I get bothered;
The sound struck my heart and took away my fears.
(from "I Have Heard That Song Before")
