In this small oneshot, Kyo ponders why he mourns.
More of a poem than a story.
Why Do We Mourn?
Why do we mourn?
Is there a reason to our suffering?
'Mourn'
It is just a word!
'Mourn' in itself means nothing!
It is merely a mask of our own pity.
Do we pity the dead?
No.
For they are dead and no-longer feel
Pain,
Suffering,
Anguish.
We pity the living.
But most of all
We pity ourselves
As we are the only people can truly relate to.
We pity our own self-loss.
That is why we mourn.
...
Deep inside,
We all seem to look for a reason to despair.
Sometimes,
We openly search for ways to make our souls crumble,
To turn to dust and ash before our tear-glazed eyes,
And leave us
Empty,
Alone,
Naked,
And free.
Free to do no more than wallow in our own self-pity.
