Let's not romanticize pain
Why don't you call it as it is?
Ugly and hurtful and devastating
All that agony in vain
Let's not romanticize the seasons
It's just rain and sunshine and snow
Winds blow and tides turn
Not nature's whisperings, don't lose reason
Let's not romanticize love
Literature and drama have done you wrong
A fleeting sensation, a dangerous disadvantage
A chemical defect, not a sign from above
Let's not romanticize life
A convoluted blend of despair and delight
A mere numbers game, a blind lottery
I won indeed, now survivor's guilt runs rife
But let me romanticize the universe?
My soul, my stars, eternal hope emanating
A higher power for the powerless
For the sufferer in me, a benevolent nurse
