Life is Suffering

Life is suffering,
So I have experienced,
A non-stop torment of disaster,
And when one stops,
Another tribulance is right around the corner,
So many forks in the road,
So many obstacles I must face,

I cant run away,
I must burn my candle in the light,
Facing the truth is my only option
They say through every dark night
There is a brighter day
But this long night seems timeless,
Put under the grasp of infinity,

Forever suffering it has become one with me,
United with my soul,
It has come to grips as part of my reality,
I have come to accept this tragedy,

For suffering provides me with appreciation,
To feel the maximum strength of pleasure,
And it is pleasure that I can not take for granted,

So scarce and rare,
But without suffering how can I feel pleasure,
On opposite sides of the spectrum,
More identical than different
