Beyond the Pain

Beyond the pain in today's society, There is abundant peace of prosperity Let me explain my hardship in detail Wait, let the ships of serenity sincerely sail I was conditioned to believe in your lies I can see it in your eyes, the hidden cries Temporary affection will become oh so serpentine To my shattered heart; breathless, but I’ll be fine The end is almost near, my dear friend Cope with hope that is around the bend Don't have a trace of fear, for happiness will find us instead Wash your feet with soap and rinse away the dread I was deceived long ago, I noticed recently You sink in wallowing woe, an unbearable sea Your words are dry and barren like a desert Sun beats down on me constantly and it does hurt Sweat trickles down my face and legs like no tomorrow I bet you and I could make it alive, God will surely know Accidentally, I was led astray by lament and distractions Your words won’t chase to the cut, only authentic actions Your lies left me uneasy in this road of painstaking regret I can see it, devouring the truth and embracing an evil outlet Temporary vitality and courage shall soon see us through, Building us up in truly elevating encouragement...you haven't a clue, who knew Well, if only…you vanish away your avarice-like, callous way of living There’s no need to cease from moving on; His strength is forever giving Follow me and my footsteps to the abstract abyss that leads to a slit of delightful light God is very merciful and reveals promises that our ashamed hearts will joyously ignite Listen and receive pure Knowledge Don’t turn the opposite direction Our glory is graciously on the edge So, get lost, serpentine affection

The last line "get lost, serpentine affection" sticks to the ribs.
