ah, this sweet pain,
this tenderness inside,
stings with each caress,
and thrills me with each brush,
i feel such sorrow,
yet i feel happiness,
the multiplicity of feelings,
i have at this moment,
only a Cray could comprehend,
joy for the things i have,
sadness for the things i don’t,
gratitude for my gifts,
disappointment at my shortcomings,
but ultimately,
i will have to prove to myself,
i can reach those heights i dream about,
i know i will and can do so,
I shall reach the peaks of,
the highest of dreams,
I will be there,
count on it.
