a-muse-ing

I learn the hard way,
that is the only way to learn;
it is right and correct and upright
to suffer while you burn.

The only lesson missing
in this search for completeness
is the only one that's needed
to pass the final test.

I like it.

And I like how the last verse is sorta contradictory.

No lesson, no final test.

Why oh why does that lesson always go missing!?
