An end to this pain

O alien! This is not your abode,
You belong to the planet where screams and nightmares rule;

Say me hi, if you really insist,
But rush off to say bye in the same breath;

Yours are not the ways I wish to tread on,
Nor hit the wall they ultimately end on;

Pain, pain go away! Pain, pain go away!
But before you go -- make me strong, show me way!
