No pain is worth getting acquainted to


No pain is worth getting acquainted to,
No gain is kind enough to long for
Beyond the abstraction of joy and sadness
This world and its ideas are full of madness
Much too often the heart grows heavy with despair,
And wonders wisely, what is the purpose of life?
Dreading over what one has left behind
Is letting go the only way to survive?
