Analysis of Trail of Tears



Why is it companionship we crave but happiness
 is never desired enough to change our destiny
are we just a victim of circumstance or do we
expect more and get less in life because we
 fail to strive to struggle to survive for what we
 expect or deserve that's what leads us to the
 trail of tears in this retrogressive world of
 half-truth and broken spoken collective agreements
 on this collision course called life Always being
set up to fail:  So Never complain and never explain
