On Suffering

 
Some kinds of suffering will make people mentally stronger
While needless torment can be just a waste of time
Useless afflictions will numb some folks from enjoying life
But misery, that can have a lasting effect on the mind

Certain misfortunes will come our way everyday
Depending on the card you, it may not be your luck
Suffering teaches us to learn and stay away from the pain
It’s a harsh necessary lesson so that we won’t get stuck

And though there are those who relish in the woes
But most of us avoid the torment of a physical agony
All of us at one point have experienced sorrow and grief
Because the truth is suffering is just a part of reality

It’s part of everyone’s journey, through good and bad
It makes us appreciate what we have and what we strive to be
Because for some, the anguish may be the end of it all
But to others it’s the starter to motivation
     When suffering is key
