I had self-learned to not react to pain,
a decade ago.
I had controlled my mind to notice everything else
but the pain that burned my nerves from neck to toe
I had build a layer of pain-insulator
Because I had no choice
But to live on, and
Appreciate the blessings that many did not have.
I had grown immune to critics and societal pressure
Because living a fulfilled life was worthwhile than
following status-quo and success.
My mysterious chronic pain had been my teacher
To a purposeful path;
that met with Buddha's self-less teaching for
generations of mankind.
