Dukkha
I suffered double the heartbreaks
For the way I left those two behind.
I also suffered so long for their sakes,
So I wouldn't be alone with my mind.
I suffered double all of the pain
That I caused for everyone I know.
I also suffered so much for their own gain,
So I learned we all reap what we all sow.
I suffered double the regret
For the mistakes I made in vain.
I also suffered so many years of shame,
So now all I want is to be me again.
I suffered double the solitary time,
For all the time I wasted waiting for others.
I also suffered from losing loves so sublime,
So now I am choosing one from many lovers.
