His Endurance
/He struggles to maintain his calmness
After the loss of his endeavor
That he has devoted much of his time
That means a great deal to his life
If he does not show his anger at the insult
It is only because he is trying hard
To prevent his fury backfiring on himself
If he denies regrets for his futile passion
It is only because he does not want
To torment himself anymore
If he denies pain from being brutally hurt
It is because he does not want
To burden other people
Even he tries to be stoical
He still has to go through
His own inner turmoil
Until the time healer endows him
The true acceptance and peace
