Suffering

Agonizing pain Discomfort, turmoil inside Life can be excruciating This is where the weak typically run and hide But it is in those extreme moments In the heat of the fire That’s where steel is forged Its where the name legend is acquired It's in the suffering The resistance, the pressure, and pain Characters built It separates, only the strong remain So bring me the heavy load I’ll walk straight into the fire The lessons I’ll learn Builds the endurance that change requires It builds equity, gravitas With strength comes gains The end product Just leaves me wanting more of the same That which doesn't kill us Nietshce said, makes us stronger inside For when we suffer We truly begin to live a full life
