We mourn because the world is a dark and troubled place
we dance because the world is a dark and troubled place
we cry from heart ache
and we laugh because of that same ache
we rejoice in hopes of days better
weeping often
having faith in better days unseen
we pretend not, but believe
because someone has to
else we all drown
in what is seen.
I feel the deepest of these pains
weighing heavy on me
In my simplicity and in my smiles
you have judged me
in my silence and in my laughter
you have pinned me ignorant
but I have cried for you.
who cares if I am simple or complex
whether i hurt or feel what you can't or won't
I know nothing more perhaps than any man
but I know pain
and compassion too
it moves me to do something
anything
for you.
my heart hurts often for you
I am humanity
we can't separate I from you.
