Hammered

He thinks with a hammer
And every blow
Strikes the bones of my soul

Another says clearly that
Even with everything
We would not be happy

And yet another says:
Work for more difficulty
Instead of more ease

What is this disease?
Romantic delusion
Or simple confusion?

The treatment could be to
Ignore and look elsewhere
Enjoy our comforts

Or set them on fire!
And let your prior
Self burn in the flames

What will be left?
Only the strongest
And truest virtues

And the chance for you
To face life, renewed
