If it had hid their feelings, keeping them inside Who are we to praise someone who couldn't feel? "Keeping their feelings locked away Just to keep humanity alive and well Just how many times have we been selfish Saying things that we should tell? "A hollow person they were, keeping it inside Just so we wouldn't kill yourselves that night I say we praise them not for their faith But for the fact they sacrificed their every right" He looked at me in my blue eyes As the rest of the children looked at him His face had fallen, his eyes had sunk As he began to look so grim Then tears in his eyes were pushed back And he looked at me with a smile "A smart one you are, my little dear, For I've not felt for a while" -Heather AKA Gothic Angel You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or interesting stories for the world to read and respond to Click here Scroll all the way down to read replies.
