it only hurts when i laugh

Everyone longs for peace
As all wanted happiness or acceptance
People are ecstatic for quiet seas
As well as forgiveness for grievance

This is a place they call paradise
Lurking deep in memories of shadows
In forests of doubt, process reprise
Above waters rage, in zenith sorrows

In there they search for something
Something to hold in the dark of night
To believe in stories of the green morning
They find peace in the dawning light

That is the paradise love has brought upon
Like sunlight and mountains, we feel
Love, they say, is the essence of pain gone
So we love, all to know how to heal

But I, in my limited range of ideas
The seeds of love I shall have sown
Don't bother looking for me in paradise
Because in you, I have my own
