To feel pain one must be stabbed with a thousand knives
and to be able to rise above it one must understand it
one must create the illusion of optimism to bear the courage to go on
with all the twisted people in this world
you have to needlework yourself out from the iron bars
that illuminate shadows of darker days
or you be eaten alive
pain is not without reason, sure
but perhaps there are some reasons that would kill some
if unraveled to its full extent
somethings are to remain a mystery
everything that we do is in essence protecting ourselves
from this world
and more so from oneself
which can be the most dangerous of all
Cry no more tears my child...
