It is a miserable life for passionate souls Always waiting for something that may never come Unsatisfied, never feeling whole Sensitive to pain, yet also rendered numb Intolerant to the daily grind And vociferous in complaint Not suffering fools,and often blind To acting with restraint Yet, although in life's vicissitudes There is not much they will miss They will also know the pulchritude Of the highest states of bliss For such heights they reach, that life seems tame For those souls who burn with a quieter flame.Birth sign: Aquarius
