Best to Suffer Alone

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006

Learn to suffer alone

In silence in both head and heart

Know that life is pain

Comfort is ephemeral

Love is an illusion

Affections only lead to malice and torment

Learn to suffer alone

For there is nothing else to be done

If one were to hear me suffering, it only brings pity

And if there is love, it will never heal

To listen to the heart ache, is meaningless

For it is so easily manipulated and enslaved

To listen to the mind resent and remorse

A waste of energy and time

But know that eventually, death will come in knock

For in the zenith of twilight

All life must learn to die

What more to the suffering who have lost their purpose

Or have no purpose at all

When the reason to live is gone

When the truth I have fought for betrays

Fret not, complain not

For they are useless efforts

The sun will never encourage

The moon will never give the comforting smile

No star will shed a tear

No wind to sing soft toned lullabies

No tree will bow and listen to the grieving soul

No one will come, maybe even the one who may matter most

So, I will shed not a tear

Nor utter a sob

A sigh of neglect, perhaps

But what to complain?

For everything is done with a reason

Whatever happens, is justified by Heaven

So move not in cowardice, my spirit

We will suffer the torture alone

It is ours to embrace

With our calm and stoic nature

Within the darkness once again

We will no longer be toyed

We will never be betrayed

Since we suffer alone

We are dead

And that is all we are good for, oh my soul
