I love the statement “That with hardship comes ease”. This is such an oxymoron but is so true. I like that you end with this statement.

I would encourage you to expand your vocablulary. This continues to be a struggle for me and I have to purposely edit my drafts to make sure I am not reusing favorite words and phrases to much. One site that has helped me a lot is Rhyme Zone. The synonym and definition tools are very helpful. You can do a google search for “word of the day” as well to learn new ways of saying things.

Also I think using a more active voice makes any form of writing stronger. So instead of using verbs of being or neutral words. So instead of saying “Too much joy is so tiring” you could say Too much joy tires.

Also for the sake of flow I would eliminat the word “is” at the end of the second line. It kind of gives a little rhythm with the word “this” but just seems awkward and out of place.

I was a little confused by the phrase “it will always be like this” Is that a reference to joy always being tiring if not neutral, or if you can’t reach neutrality at least look at life in the way that the following verses describe.

Anyway good job and great message.
