To Live Is To Suffer
I have read
the poem of your life
as I have lived
my own.
You are broken-hearted.
You are lonely.
You are defeated.
You are in despair.
So be it.
Embrace your pain.
Hold it close.
Surrender to it.
If you evade
your suffering,
you lose your chance
for joy.
Joy lives on
the other side
of suffering.
Wake up each day
and soldier on.
Show up for life.
That's all there is,
but it's a lot.
