How could you know?


Sadness sham their one in the same Life and death you can’t experience one without the other How can you fail at succeeding if you know no success? You can’t clam to know pain if you have no pain Scars of the flash can be forgotten scars of the soul burn a fire with in For some a smile and a laugh is a lie a mask that covers the sadness and shame of scares and pains By Michael X
