Try and Cry

Try and cry.
Cry and try
Again and again.
And again
Get the same, feel the same, the same pain.

It's the circle of Sansara,
It's a rule of heartless Karma:
If you feel, you are to suffer,
If you live, you are to suffer.
You do suffer while you live.
Happiness is just a dream.

Why, oh, why
Fall down and cry,
Rise and cry,
And fall down again?
Why again
Be smashed down by fate's wheels every day?

A very deep creation, and very well written.. The door is there, and the key as well, just when you find it, is for time to tell, all the tears and the times you fall, will be forgotten when you open that door..
