Tis Not Pain you fear

“Don’t confuse me
With the facts
Just tell me
What I want to hear

Don’t you tell me
I don’t see
What life has
Brought for all

I can see pain
In every breath
I know what
Hurts us deep

I can face the
Worst of fact
And am thus
Unafraid to weep”

No one wants
To face the
Truth, regardless
What it be

No one thinks
That they themselves
Search not for joy
But pain

If truth is
So melancholy
What is there
To death?

But stand up!
Face the truth
My dear, ‘tis not pain
But joy you fear

Sanity is NOT a matter of statistics.
The earth is round, germs cause desease, and God speaks.

Wow.. ironic that I almost started to cry there. (01:27 AM in Sweden, tired.)

Interesting write and added to the library..
