In a world full of smiles

Tears stand out

Surrounded by laughter

Cries sound soft

All alone

With no one to care

I made my resolve

No one shall feel this pain

With no one to blame

I create a culprit

Anything wrong

The fault is "his"

Confronted again

With fears thought gone

Emotions once lost

Overflow from the eyes

The eyes staring

With the ever-present smile

I cower in fear

At the man I call "Death"

Taught by a good man

But soul turned sour

I force my legs

And I strike him down

Please let this be a nightmare

Gone in the morning

Let this be a dream

That I can awake from
