No matter
How much the world believes it understands you

It does not understand as much as it would like.

No matter
How certain the world is in knowing who you are

It does not know you.

And you
With all your knowledge and knowing
Do not know the world, because you are not the world, and the world is not you.

You are forever to be mysteries to one another
Never truly knowing
Never truly understanding

That is pain.

But, the greater your pain, so I do believe
Is the greater your grasp of this world.

I say to you—do not let it break you.

Hold tight.
Strive your fingers closer, and closer still
Light is in reach.

I believe we shall make it.

Hang on. Cling true.

Suffering ones

Remember love.
