The Neverending Book - 48. Pain

Pain

You have the ability to turn pain into power.
Do not let it fool you.
Do not let it rule you.
Use it to fuel you.
From the ashes of failure stem the roots of success.
From lost games, can burn new flames.
Forget all shames.
They can be hotter and stronger and longer then ever.
Yes. They can truly burn on forever.
Enough crying.
Tears are caused by pain, joy, or fears.
Wipe them away.
Today is a new day.
That already is power,
But, only if you use it, can you bury the past in the ground and grow a new flower.
It takes time like this rhyme that you were meant to read.
Patience, to eliminate pain, isn't even what you need.
What is required,
Is for you to simply let go.
And, you will no longer feel tired.
Your new flower will grow.
