Life is a labyrinth of suffering.
Pain that reverberates through a smashed face.
Immediate signals that bombard the brain,
There is no escape from this suffering.
It is required to endure living.
The obstruction to my trajectory,
change came for the plans I intended to see.
In crowds of people I ache for lovers
I’ll never share, to never see so many people
honest and unguarded, and to love them for it.
Life is a labyrinth of suffering.
The obstruction to my trajectory
My desire to change what has been
The origin of all my pain.
It is only this suffering I can remedy.
By simply greeting life as it is when it arrives.
I liked your take on the gigan, especially the lines “There is no escape from this suffering.
It is required to endure living.”
I agree with Renee and I like how the repeated lines have an even bigger impact when they land together the second time around:
‘Life is a labyrinth of suffering.
The obstruction to my trajectory’
