Sadness is all around me.



Sadness is all around me, it's in everyone that I see.
And after all this time, I thought that it was only me.

I would love to reach out, and to hug each one of you.
I would love to show my support, it's the least I can do.

If we were just kinder to one another, just think what we could achieve.
We're put on this earth, to love one another, to encourage them to believe.

Give us the strength inside ourselves, to do what we know we ought to.
Let us not be afraid to show to others, just what God's love can really do.

You all have been so kind to me, with the support that you have shown.
I have only been here a very short time, but look at how much I've grown.

And hopefully, we will all remain here, to just keep letting our feelings out.
It's this site's purpose, freedom of expression, is clearly what it's all about.
