Grief is my acetaminophen It numbs me from the real pain Decaying in a bed of roses Lying in what's left of the rain Lovely poppies laugh at my shame As I stare at the crescent moon Forgotten and left without a name Whispering a mournful tune It was never meant to be Choking on the ashes Of my burning words At the mercy of my misery Grief is my acetaminophen It masks the face you would hate Lying to any and everyone About the poison that I taste |

I'm not sure if it makes sense...  Probably not, considering who wrote it. Just consider it this way, someone's using the "sadness" of one incident to mask the true misery of another. Don't ask me why someone would do that, it just came to mind...    |

I've seen it happen. When people ask why someone is sad, sometimes they reference something other than what's really going on. I think people don't want to explain their feelings over again, but others understand another thing. I know a few people who say that they just have a headache when people ask them why they are sad, when really they are clinically depressed.
