Sorrow's Sweet Serenity
I fly sometimes,
From one constant chaos to the next
I am not one for pity
Though I put many to the test
Their hopes and dreams sets limits
That is difficult to surpass
I adhere to their scars
To see how long one will last
It is not my job to create this sorrow
For much like love, it is inevitable
Such as death when he takes your breath
Sending you on your way in so many variables
I am here to make you feel
All that you try to deny
I am not meant to hurt you
But to remind those who try to hide
From themselves, from others
Pain is great for a reason
I call upon your already bleeding heart
Listen to it as it sings my treason
But I fail you not, nor myself
All of these powerful things
Your angels will guide you through the pain
So that you may receive your wings.
