one more cheer

|camaratta|
one more cheer for cancer, one more cheer for ending a dream. i wish that i could find the answer and i wish i could stop thinking of the way it could be. holding on to nothing makes you realize how fragile life is like reaching out for something when you know there's nothing there but air

one more cheer for hunger, one more cheer for dysentery. i wish we could help one another, wish i could help somebody other than me. then another life is ending and it's life that we're still not understanding. we can let it go by one more day then just stand by and watch the world give way and say that everything's okay. that's what i say

one more cheer i don't need, one more cheer just makes it one too many. who's to say it's the way it should be? who could know that things would end up this way? maybe we should just ignore it. maybe then it will just go away. maybe we can do nothing for it. or maybe 'maybe' is just another damn excuse today
