Pain and ecstasy,
swim in superficial seas.
Idealized through centuries
of poetic dribbling.
Hope and pity
are a self-inflicted cruelty.
Sewing seeds of catastrophe--
the birth of a tragedy.
Welcome the suffering.
Greet the pain.
Embrace the desolation.
Let sickness remain.
Ill-treatment and indignities.
To you I wish the same.
Your endurance is your worth.
Let your weakness burn away.
Suffer to Become.
Life is the crucible,
In which we are tried--
Through hardship and trial,
man is purified.
Cast not your scorn,
on troubles and dismay.
Instead embrace the thorn,
and the searing of the flame.
Welcome the suffering.
Greet the pain.
Embrace the desolation.
Let sickness remain.
Ill-treatment and indignities.
To you I wish the same.
Your endurance is your worth.
Let your weakness burn away.
