My Pillar of Reality

We all seek the pillar of reality differently. It's up to you to determine how to best achieve it

This grappling hook of reality
Keeping me from spiraling into infinity
The flow of blood
The feeling of pain
A stumbling block to some, but a pillar on which I stand
They say that with pain there is no gain
But as I see it, it's a momentary weakness to build strength
The pillar of reality, on which all seek to stand
Must be grappled with the hook that I hold with this idle hand
With each line I write
I hope to build my pillar up to the sky
I seek truth and reality
But I can only achieve one
With pain brings reality
But with suffering comes truth
Everything that I'm facing had an origin- the fruit of the poisonous tree
But since then, man has sought reality
Achieving it in any way he can
Sometimes he must face momentary pain in order to withstand
Life is only irony
You're taught one thing but do the other
People teach that pain can be a fetter
But to me it's not, I use it as a hook of reality
I deny the norm, and attempt not to slip into conformity
Life for me is a constant struggle-
Will I resist the bliss of pain?
Or will I slip into it for gain?
I never know till I'm there
And all I want to do is disappear
Lately I have been having stress surmounting
Anger undying
And depression unyielding
I know it'll eventually end, but I must take matters into my own hands to be able to stand
People say that harm isn't the answer
But for me it is massive relief
So therefore I shall continue, and hook onto my pillar of reality

"Life is only irony"

That line got me. The way it built up before this too.
