Sonnet 29
When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least:
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,--and then my state
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings'.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)

Everyone should have a song they believe was written about them, here's mine:
Waiting here for someone else to break you from the inside
You've been so composed
There's always something tearing you apart
It hits you so much harder than you thought
But you don't worry
You've got soul
You're so heavy, you're so misunderstood
Siempre trato a entender todo de la vida y seguir el plan de Dios.
