Peace and sadness have similar effects on the body,
But the meaning is vastly different.
A calm, weightless chest
Compared to a thoughtless, numb heartbeat.
A mind free from worry
Compared to protection, a split between mind and body.
Between thought and reality.

A cry of understanding,
Beauty found on earth.
A cry of anger,
Frustration for things just out of grasp.
