Sweet and Sour Sunrise
Another day I awake
to yet another sunrise,
That I should be here at all,
to me a great surprise
Now the pain begins all over,
Another day for me to suffer
Do I greet the sun with joy,
Or another chance
for life to destroy,
My teeth are clenched
in pain's eternal grimace,
My eyes mere slits of care
Would God think me remiss,
If my end I should so dare
I don't enjoy to be
in this situation
Where such thoughts
I should have at all,
All I ask of heaven
Is for this pain somehow
to grow small
