Sufferings…curse or boon??

Something meant to be hated, something meant to be forgotten

Something that ruins feelings, something that changes people

Fewer have ever thought, what has just crossed my mind

It is something that has changed my mind

 

Paradigm shift, it has bought about, unveiled a different me

I always thought to avoid it for better; it is just today I realize how wrong I was

How silly I had been to run away from something that has revealed me to myself

A flip side of a coin I would say, it has polished me I would say

 

As diamond attains its worth only after sufferings,

a person becomes better due to the same

Clay has to be beaten to be transformed to pots;

Mind has to be hit to attain strength

 

The strength as powerful as blazing fire,

Something as mightier as thunderbolts

It sufferings that define a new self,

Something as bright as blazing sun
