What it Takes.
It takes a smile to hide the pain,
it takes a laugh to shrug it all away.
It takes a shadow to hide the light,
it takes a flame to eliminate your might.
It takes a thought to change your mood,
it takes a memory to make you cruel.
It takes a heart to feel the sorrow,
it takes a pain to make your heart hollow.
It takes a breath to keep you alive,
it takes a second to take your breath away,
and let you die.
