No Pain

Maybe, its just a test
to learn your reaction
anticipate your sensitivity
determine your boiling point
locate your weak link

Its an induction
a painful passing through fire
to purify you
purge past thinking and
complete independence
reconstruct reliance on the unit
fluid motion of the whole

So, take each little comment
tongue in cheek
every minor criticism
worth a grain of salt
remembering that
your entry was wanted
hoped for, longed for
future dreams rest
between the palm of your hands

uttered words
are not meant
to cause you pain
rather to learn you
improve you
take you to
another plateau
