Those Damning Comparisons

Repent reprieve from hardship

For you're unworthy for release from turmoil. 

There are worse than you

Whose pains have accrued

And your living is not nearly as soiled. 

 

And hence all pain is irrelevant,

For comparatively, you're in the clear. 

So, from where you stand

Your life is bland. 

What reason do you have to feel fear?

 

This world is but your own

Yet you see it all one way. 

So release from tomorrow

Your rationale of sorrow

And do not lead your thinking astray.
