Sweats and Sweets of Pain

lettre à mon Ami

You wear your smile like you’ve barely been scratched.
You learned how to numb your pains with painkillers,
Your tears flowed like rains, but you reapplied them to irrigate our lands.
You repurposed your losses into lawns.
You remixed your failures to the best cocktails.

Obstacles have become a refuge, right?
Because you had to learn,
You could only conquer them by making them your ally.
But my friend, you don’t have to do it alone,
I am here for you.
