Sometimes,

life hurts,

As much as death does…

Sometimes,

love hurts,

As much as hate does…

Sometimes ,

many emotions burn,

Deep in our souls…

They make everything,

around us, falls,

And give us a sadness that we didn’t earn …

Life can be really rough,

When people seem to become tougher and tougher…

And the simple fact of living will be enough,

To make us sink deeper and deeper,

Sink in a cold blue sea:

A sea where we can never see,

Where we can never feel…

A sea that makes us miserable and ill…

A sea that only a few ones have the ability to cross,

Without suffering from a loss,

Either big or small…

While crossing,

a lot of people fall,

So they will beg and call,

Hoping to be saved,

one day…

We all hear that call,

We all know about them in some way,

But why don’t we respond ?!

Why don’t we pay attention
To that scream,

to that painful sound,

Tell me why,

Oh Human Nation ?!
