1. Each Person's Life Has Its Own Pain
Each person's life has its own pain
Unable to speak, hidden deep in the subconscious
Life continues to struggle with many losses
We still walk alone, unconcerned.
Each person's life also has their own sky
To return to when sad
The past, a peaceful pain with someone
Or childhood, where kites fly.
Each person's life always has a love
Deep, peaceful, and beautiful
But sometimes fate is cruel
Leading us to different paths.
Everyone has a deeply buried past
Everyone has hidden secrets
Only those who care deeply
Can touch their hearts and move on.
(The Painful Poet)
2. Self-Soothing the Pain
In the end, only we soothe ourselves
Through the years of hardship and toil
When young, we often lamented
Now we see life is not as smooth as poetry
The season of changing leaves has passed, leaving us alone
The waves lap the shore and poetry is born to redeem
Acts of kindness from our hearts are offered
To beautify and elevate life
We continue to comfort our own sorrows
So the sun harmonizes with beautiful verses
In the tranquil night, there's a woman nestled
In this world, someone still needs us to bring happiness and peace
There was a time when we believed in Fate
In the vast universe, whose boat wandered
Now relatively we have what we wished for
But who measures the scars and wounds?
The cries like wounded beasts
Then Heaven stands by us, not hindering
In the coming years that we've sensed
No one can defeat us if we remain resilient
We won't let down those who believed and loved
Like our Teacher's faith in us years ago to become useful
We'll prove to Life that we live right
Not as despicable as the words of some unkind
We self-encourage and believe in ourselves a thousand times.

3. What I Am to You in Your Heart
Now I realize!
I'm nothing in your heart
So I close off the fervent affection
No more torment, no more worry or weary longing
Draw a line - a boundary between us!
Now I realize any pain will eventually pass
Any wound will heal over time
Just like drifting clouds... wandering through ages
Wherever the wind blows... let it go!
Realizing this, I'll no longer feel lonely
No more waiting for a once-beloved stranger
I'll think more lightly, like everyone returns to death
Release my soul gently with the land and sky
Now realizing, I can let go lightly
No more bitterness thinking of love
I'll be peaceful day by day by the door
Quietly pondering over old matters
I won't ache wrenchingly night after night
Not letting emotions flood my heart in reverse
And I'll calmly heal all wounds
That you inadvertently clenched with affection
Every day, I'll gaze at myself in the mirror
Seeing the time marks strewn across my hair
I'll smile indulgently at the things that tire me
No tears, no sorrow over trivial loves
Though knowing everyone loves at least once
Passionately deep for a distant stranger
But now realizing, I'll be different
No more thinking of you
To find peace and solace within myself!

4. Only the Pain Remains
Now all that's left for me is pain
As the word 'love' fades away, oh dear
We once thought of each other as everything
But now, we part ways at the crossroad
We silently gaze at each other, saying nothing
So go on, go on your way, my dear
To distant horizons, I wish you strength
Live happily and healthily, my dear
Our fate, we couldn't make it work
I won't blame anyone, no dear
Forget the memories of our youthful past
Find happiness, joy with someone new
Though outside life offers many colors
Within me, so much pain still remains
The dust settles but it lingers
In my heart, a lingering pain

5. Lingering Pain
Petals fresh describe just enough pain
Sorrow, shattered, all in vain
Love, chilly, a color of grace to gain!
