These Two Dark Emotions
The one that has not succeeded in life knows
that these two dark emotions: fear and pity
are on the same scale of equality;
he feels its lows and takes blows!
I compare myself to him in many ways,
and unable to escape from the loneliness
inside and around me: the only comfort is prayers,
gazing deeper into Heaven and beg for painless days!
When all is bleak and clouds collide to strike
me with lightining, I hide where it's dry and safe;
but there's no ending to fear by being a ghostlike
and not run on hills with excitement to fly a kite!
Pity also hinders me from achieving the fullest joy,
I blame it all on myself, not on the causer of grief;
losing fear is a form of purification to get some relief...
troubled soul, let these two dark emotions become memory!
