Hi,

what is life when no fights are being dealt, (what does 'deal a fight' mean?)

or when happiness is never to be felt.

could our inner tears,

come from our inner fears?

For a start, shouldn't each line contain ten syllables?



In addition, do you feel that the stress is on every second syllable?
