I chanced upon a little thing called suffering by some not boxed and well confined but free and liberated and ambidextrous that’s for sure because it dishes out both left and right equal amounts of self. Sometimes it flutters quickly by but sometimes nests within and builds a fortress thought to be indestructible. And that little thing called suffering makes me think the damndest things and sets me to bemoaning the supposedly unbreakable time and time again until powerless becomes the norm. But there’s nothing yet and will not be a break-down of abilities to rise above, dictate the rules, and reign as one superior to life’s very many little things ~ but until, until, always until, I know how small they are I remain forever faithful and in close proximity to my own suffering!

quote: I do understand this, dear Helen! We all do have our very own "suffering", from which it is difficult to detach in certain moments. Again, a very poetic and psychologically profound work. Love, Margherita |

Yes.I agree. Profound is the exact same word that came to my mind. |

Very well put, my friend...understand completely, I think - must always have the "I think" part because I never fully "understand" anything! Much enjoyed the read. j. |

Your description of suffering hit the mark. I found this a very well thought out and written poem. |
