Do you understand?

XD That was actually REALLY cool!
And I did enjoy your imagery and especially the first big stanza about crying.
Everything seemed to make sense~
<3

I cry because I'm happy.

A life blessed by sunshine
A soul watered by rain
There can be no possible pain
When I'm so protected
By all those around me.

I smile because I'm content.

I wear no mask
I shoulder no lie
There's nothing to hide
When I'm so surrounded
By all these friends

I hurt because I'm human.

My wounds pour blood
My eyes pour tears
There's nothing to fear
When I've band-aids and comfort
From all those around me

I laugh because I'm finished.

It's fine trusting their words
It's fine letting them be
There's nothing to see
When I've all the joy in the world
Without knowing the truth.

I do not understand.
Why do you understand?

Psst:
It's "Why do you] understand"

<3 Your last sentence.

Geh!
Fixed, thank you. <3

What is happiness?

To know the sting of cruel hate
Feel the gazes of those
Who would just as quickly leave
Turn their backs, or offer a hand
Friends are fleeting
You've not known grief.

What is truth?

Lies aren't so easy to shake
We have all bitten our tongues
Let the bloody words, so base
Color the mask of acceptance
Truth is life, but also its hardships
You're no exception in this case.

What is pain?

So many labels, so little time
Skinned knees, forgotten time
Comfort only houses denial
Is it good or evil, this humanity
That murders its brothers
You've not known these trials.

What is trust?

Handing the reins over
Letting "friends" decide your fate
They feed your ignorance
As your heart opens to scrutiny
You've been blind - not known hate.

Why?

Why do we kill till extinction
Its only natural
Why does death take the young
Its only natural
Why do our calls for justice
For hope, for change
Fall only on deaf ears - black souls
Its only natural

This charade you live
Where struggle is a distant nightmare
Clawing its way into joyous existance
Is not natural. You've fallen victim
To those black hearts, dark minds
I'm part of the resistance

This is why I know
And why you must find out.

Happiness is here.

Music on an autumn day
Spring breezes caressing the hair
Of those willing to dance with summer.

No wicked winter to ruin the joy
Of this utopia.
My utopia.

Truth is there.

What's the difference between pure truth
And 'corrupted' lies?
To those who've lived lies, none.

If my 'evil' lies can bring joy
I've no wish for truth.
No one here wishes for truth.

Pain is trust.

Close your eyes.
And fall.
Trust that they'll catch you.

Will they catch you?
To those who've lived lies,
Yes.

And you and I
We've fallen for so long
Why resist?

We're bound to break
Once we hit the ground.
So, keep falling with me.

I haven't found out.
You haven't found out.
Keep dreaming with me.

There's no need to understand to be happy.
