It is not so easy to smile
when you are hurting,
not even laughter will come,
both will elude you.
They do not visit a hurting
lonely heart,
there's no joy within.
For the heart at the moment
is filled with the burden of the
harsh realities of life.
Awakened in you are
the subtleties of the real
energies within manifesting
themselves in their diversities to
help you balance yourself
in such a way that you focus on
the inner leading of your heart
to win your battle of self.
Strong self will is needed
to come back to reality.
No one can stop the obstacle
from invading your body but you,
for in transcending the
pain you feel within by the
share force of will,
the situation will finally abate
and the mind in control over
matter that's infesting your soul.
The hurt will cease and joy will return.
