What will make my life worth living
with ‘The Great Pain’ that’s yet to come?
I’ve stewed
I’ve mused
my mind’s diffused
all the good things that I’ve done
… I could split the atom
… I could heal all cancers
… I could solve world wars
… or find a formula for happiness
But my mind still fuses
in loops
and confusions,
chasing impossible goals
and wishful delusions…
‘To make my life worth living…?’
‘To make my life worth living…?’
‘To make my life worth living…?’
…Arghhh!
‘I WILL make my life worth living!’

The Greatest Pain is reference to the fear of losing my parents. A while ago I couldnt even think about it, but now Ive written a poem about very the thing that scares me the most, so I guess I could call that progress.
