Pain
I'm nursing this wound in my heart
The pain of not being accepted
The pain of constantly needing to justify little things I do in life
The pain of justifying my values in life
The pain of not being able to conform to the perceived norm
The pain of suspicious eyes viewing my life
Frustration steps in
Calmness of mind slips away
I wish for calmness to stay
What do I have to do?
My Master,
Please help me through this rough patch of life
Please steer me through this troubled time
Dear Disciple,
Be tolerant of others with different views to yourself
Believe in your true wisdom
Believe in your true virtue
You know right and wrong for yourself
Be patient
Have compassion towards those who haven't developed deeper insight into themselves
Some day they will understand
Some day they will reach the steps that you have taken
You will not find the answers through confronting
In stillness and in calm
You'll discover the wisdom
