Suffering Vs Healing

Is it better to suffer permanently?

Or waste time healing?

If you would let me suffer alone for another day…

I would be able to give a dignified response. 

If you would let me understand what healing means…

I would probably give into what is most tempting. 

Whatever the choice…

There is no happiness in either. 

Only emptiness or fullness. 

And maybe some sort of success. 

But I can only choose one.
