Don't be suffering,
unless someones
hands are choking.
Forget physical pain,
unless it's a freezing rain.
Even if severe,
keep an antidote near.

Life has beat me so,
any jive pain has to go.
I don't respond
to anything but fire,
severe pain not in 
my souls desire.
Mental pressures of mind,
my heart and soul
don't define.
In other words,
phony pain flies
with the birds.
It lands on windshields,
splatters out in
open fields.

Small cuts,
should never drive us nuts.
Don't sweat the small stuff,
it isn't big enough.
Wait for the earthquake,
then still don't break.
Keep a tough skin,
the stronger you are
the more you win.
