I feel empathy for people that cry and try to bring their suffering to light. I can feel the joy within their world die, and I know in my heart that it isn't right. Loneliness can be a crippling feeling that's more devastating than people know. And that kind of hurting requires healing, or it'll fester and soon begin to show. Depression’s veil shadows a sad soul as it sinks amongst the tears where dreams drown. And hope oft levies a terrible toll when there's no way up, and you feel held down. Life has no purpose if it's lived alone, without love, one may as well be a clone. (Sonnet) 2/7/2018
