Who Say Whom Is

Some say the worst is
Without dignity.
Some say self-worth come
From Within.
Yet who knows the torture
Of careless hearts.
Yet who understands
The bitter smile on the face.

Some say the worst is
Never taste love.
Some say love begin
With giving.
Yet who can guarantee
Love will return.
Yet who understands
The desperate of a...broken heart.

Some live happily another day,
And some say those are the luckiest.
Who has thought one day, the luckiest one,
Has a relative died for love.
And who can say he or she is a coward?
Life could seem so intolerable
That we couldn't see future are awaiting
For us to discover- what a crime of fate-
All we can say it is but sadness,
A burden families can't forget.
