The very thought of this world brings me to my knees.
For I am tormented by all the wrong I've done and the grief I've caused.
I am afflicted with the agony of others.
I am able to discern the darkness in the hearts of mankind this is my affliction.
It brings great knots in my stomach as if my very inside were being crushed with great force.
Tears appear in the wells of my eyes as my throat swells from my attempts to refrain from screaming.
To observe the insolence and ignorance of the my loved is to feel my very bones burning under a fire until they begin to crack.
My people bring devastation to my heart.
Yet I endure these pains all the while remaining wise and fearing anger for with anger comes stupidity.
