Eventually

Oh wait, you didn't know?

Oh, wait. You didn't know. 

 

I am sorry to be the one,

But this is only the first

Of many more you will endure.

 

I know its seems incomprehensible.

But after a few, you will come to believe. 

 

After a few friends, maybe some family,

You will come to see it is inevitable. 

 

Pain is a part of this existence. 

 

I know it hurts now,

But it's its own anesthetic.

Trust me when I say

Your tolerance will build. 

 

That's not to say you will become numb,

Only to say you will become accustomed

Eventually.

We'll just keep writing 'til there's nothing left to write.

We'll just keep waiting 'til they read all our works left to right.
