Final notes:
I'm sorry I don't have time to comment on all.

Thanks you all for entertaining and entering.

As I expected, an eclectic mix of entries.
To me, this truth speaks to an emotion we've all had. If you think hard, I know I find everytime I was "sad" was over something at it's core selfish. Let's keep that in mind...

You have no idea what you have done now.
Of course you never realized that your pain is ours.

Look to see the tears I cry,
