Wayward noise.

You want to cry aloud for your mistakes.
But to tell the truth the world doesn't need any more of that sound.

  1. You are right, the world doesn't need any more of this but when we are sad or unhappy, we still need to be able to express this emotion. Very touching.

  2. Launna,

    These are only the opening lines of her lovely poem "The Poet with His Face in His Hands". I believe you would enjoy the rest of it. If you are interested, you can find it here:
