Favorite Quote:
&quot;My role in society, or any artist&#039;s or poet&#039;s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.&quot; <br /> John Lennon

I

feel guilty

for

not mourning

but

if I made

a hole
for each death
I would be swiss cheese

by the end

so don't
say I'm heartless

I definatly know what you mean, crying never does any good. It just leaves you feeling empty. Mourning in silence is easier for me. Amazing poem
