Illusions & Assumptions: The Lost Tomorrow

We all have pain, We all have Sorrow, But if we are wise, We know that there is always tomorrow. Lyrics Excerpt from Lean On Me by Bill Withers

Every second of life we live
Leads us to the next second
And On, and On

Yet when Pain comes it brings with an illusion
That nothing comes after the pain.
That nothing else exists or matters but the pain

It tells us that the future is pain
It forces us to focus only on that moment
And only on that pain

But when you live long enough,
You will learn something
That relief will follow pain

The Takeaway

Some things are more important
Than the pain we feel in the moment
Besides, Past Pain will strengthen you

Laughter and joy can exist amidst pain
Life exists after that painful moment
The sun will shine, and the world continues to move forward

We are also advancing despite of the pain
Because tomorrow must come to be –
It is inevitable

Don’t let the illusion that Pain creates,
Erase your possibilities
Don't let it Steal your tomorrow.
