Pain be my guide

Pain be my guide
Be my bride
Tell me when to sleep
When to weep
Tell me when to work when to shirk
Show me my guilt
And when to leave quilt

Pain be my guide
Be my bride
Show me death
And show me life's breadth
Show me love
And when to shove
Guide me when to talk
And when away to walk
Tell me what to learn
And when to yearn
Show me when to support
And when my face to contort
Mostly tell me what to say
And act well come what may
