Rain
The rain was pouring down. Isaac knelt next to the body of this nameless individual.
" I am sorry that I can't change. I am sorry that I am not the person that you need. I am sorry for this man that I am. I'm not who you needed. I try and try but when it counts is when I am weak. I want to be the man you need, yet I know not how."
Isaac knelt down to this man and placed his life less head in his hands.
"You kept asking why I always acted so taught. It's cause I never am."
With a steady hand Isaac closed this mans eyes, placing him in that eternal slumber.
"I never am."
Isaac laid the mans head back on the ground then got out his handkerchief and canteen. Wetting down the cloth he cleaned that mans face.
"Let me give you at least this."
After his work was done he stood up and limped away. Leaving the man to that peace that he could not find in life.

Huh Really interesting, shall i say thought provoking,
Soran, you like trance? That's more depressing than Judge's post...
And as for thinking happy thoughts (that reminds me of Peter Pan, but anyways):
"I know you proudly say
That I'm just talking crazy
To think of life that way
Means that I'm confused
There's happy and there's sad
But maybe yes just maybe
The sadness can make the happiness more true."

man, judge! what book is this from, it's great writing!
I concur, anon. I find this passage thought-provoking and touching. What book is is Judge?
It's not from a book. It's just one of my random writings.
