This Chapter Could Be Pain


Dearest reader! 

It's possible the content of this piece may not be of primary concern 

Still, it's not out of place to be equipped with all truth 

By this, we protect ourselves from becoming victims

To weapons that can hurt but could be averted


Putting the feelings that birthed these lines to words wasn't easy

Neither was finding the best of phrase to convey actual emotions

Because it speak of the core of every man's existence

One of the very pillars that makes humanity


Truly, we are a bundle of emotions and feelings 

And they have a way of affecting our decisions

But shall we allow these, that burn but for a few moment

Walk us into a lifetime of pains, unimaginable 


What shall be our gain if in the name of love

We bring upon ourselves things that can limit our joy

That in the pursuit of happiness and companionship 

We ended up picking heartache and sorrows


In all honesty, I desire that the advancement of science 

Had come to a stage where Genotype is not a string

Holding people's lives or limiting their emotional expression 

But while we wait for this miracle of Science

We go on with our lives, living with the pain silently


Pain of caring for someone but having to ignore the feeling 

To love a person but having to live in denial of it 

To sincerely wish for a future with someone 

But just can't bring yourself seeing the possibilities

Experiencing such a life must truly hurt

Perhaps, a pain words can't convey

These and more are the weight on many shoulder


This chapter could be pain or maybe it is already

Depending on the choices you've garnished yourself with

So, with the future in mind

Will your guiding chart be based on feeling or logic?

I hope you make the right decision on this

And hopefully, it bring you into a lifetime of joy
