A pile of trash
with gold under it;
that’s what problems are.
Getting stuck
on the surface,
won’t get us far.
Easy walks
and comfortable atmospheres
have value, yes
but their role
is not to elevate;
freedom’s quest can’t be painless.
Don’t seek pain, no;
that’s not the point
of my speech.
Whenever it appears, though,
don’t run and hide;
beseech.
Inner investigation
is a game
that needs guts;
It passes necessarily
through self-deconstruction;
no shortcuts.
Repeatedly avoiding to face
your persona’s dark sides,
is just a postponement.
Problems and difficulties
are opportunities
for resilience’s increasement.
Dance with the challenges,
warrior and passenger.
You have the skills in your core.
The golden crown
of the earthly life’s prom
waits at the end of the trashy dancefloor.
