Do you morn for yourself?
Do you feel any joy in unrelenting pain?
Do you witness any gain?
Are you willing to see tomorrow
If it’s worth the pain today?

Pangs may seize you
Pain may grip you
Painkillers haunt you
Painless
Endless
Relentless
Whom do you turn to?

Life has no guarantees
No one is immune
Some tolerate others can’t
Some can rise above
Others descend below

Soon you come to realize
That life has no compromise
Only a choice
You can’t have both
But are you willing to surrender your pain
Into the hands of
Someone who is willing to break an oat?

“Pain is the breaking of the shell that
encloses your understanding.”
Kahlil Gibran
