The downside

The downside of hate
Is the energy it takes
To see that it's useless

The downside of mirrors
Is the tears it never
Seems to wipe away

The downside of knives
Is the passion they rip
Out of this world of sorrow

The downside of silence
Is the pain it brings
To those who will listen

The downside of sorrow
Is the fear
Of nothingness within

The downside of life
Is the happiness we loose
When not living it out
