If all the pain was to be gone
all the suffering banished forever
my heart would still be tempered
in sullen thoughts with my soul in despair

If all the pain was gone
if I was content
I would not write
I would not claim Poet

But my endless pain
my own miscarriage of justice
my fall from grace
because of my endless failures

This is me in words
this is where I am from
and when I leave this earth
maybe then just if....
if all the pain would be gone
