I open my eyes In a valley of smoke It blows in my face But I do not choke. What is this world Where pain is not felt? Where happiness expands And worries melt? Why can’t...

&quot;life can be horrible, so be even worse.&quot;<br /> &quot;A shelf&rsquo;s for a clock or vase or picture,<br /> But I don&rsquo;t see why it should have to bear<br /> A chimney that only would serve to remind me<br /> Of castles I used to build in air.&quot;
