You can't appreciate good without bad,
You can't appreciate happy without sad,
You can't appreciate peace without war,
You can't appreciate love without hatred,
You can't appreciate right without wrong,
You can't appreciate light without darkness
So I'm sorry if you can't understand me.

"I don't hate you guys,
Just jealous that you have me,
and mad that I don't."

Citizens turn terrorists when terrorists terrorise them;
a world without terror is without a world.

I'm waiting for something that's not to come
Like waiting for the end of war
Like waiting for the end of greed
Like waiting for the end of corruption
Like waiting for the end of poverty
Like waiting for the end of pollution
Like waiting for the end of misery
Like waiting for the end of injustice
Like waiting for the end of this eternal cycle

You look, but do you see
between the lines of my poetry?
You hear, but do you heed
the turmoil beneath my silent plead?
You think but do you wonder
if I'm okay after years of blunder?
You sense but do you feel
my true colors shut by a seal?

This is the new me,
a withered peony
With lifeless eyes,
Dampened with lies
This is the new me

The saddest goodbyes
are not the ones that are said
but are left untold
