Petty Pain

On Growing Indifferent

Down another glass of wine

Instead of another bottle of pills.

Scream into any of your pillows, because

They have all heard this song before.

Remember, it's only a matter of time,

And you only have to hold on a little longer.

Count the beats of your heart, and not

The tears running down your face, for

In the face of suffering, my dear, you

Obey only your own will, for you are

No longer swayed by petty pains of the heart and mind.
