no suffering
don’t even try
taking my pain away
don’t even think
about fixing me
I am not broken
feeling intensely
is not suffering
pain is my friend
the one
I can trust and count on
without it
I hurt myself in the fire of attraction, passion and longing
without it
joy and pleasure
would turn boring
losing lustre rather quick
without its persistent whisper
I would be placing my heart
where it doesn’t belong
bedding down in the wrong bed
without it
I would ignore what needs my attention
instead of dressing my wounds
without feeling it
I would be foolishly running in circles
like a jester without truth
