PAIN

(poem by Soumya)

I am in pain, a grief so deep

It's like a shadow that never sleeps

It lingers in the corners of my mind

And leaves me feeling so confined

I try to place it, to give it a home

But it's like trying to contain a storm

It rages and roars, refusing to be tamed

Leaving me feeling forever maimed

How do I find solace in this endless ache?

When every breath I take feels like a mistake

The weight of sorrow is too much to bear

And yet, I carry it with me everywhere

Here I am, lost in this sea of despair

Wishing for an escape that just isn't there

I am in pain, and grief has found its place

A permanent resident in my heart's empty space

I long for the days when joy filled my heart

When laughter was easy, and tears were apart

Of distant memories, now shrouded in gray

Lost in the darkness of sorrow's dismay

But still, I hold on to a flicker of hope

That somehow, someday, I'll find a way to cope

With the weight of this grief that never fades

And the pain that lingers in the darkest shades

I search for meaning in the depths of my pain

For a reason, a purpose, to keep me sane

But the answers elude me, slipping through my grasp

Leaving me drowning in sorrow's cruel clasp

I cry out in silence, my voice unheard

As I navigate this maze, so blurred

By tears that flow unbidden, unchecked

A constant reminder of the pain I've kept

I am a prisoner of grief's cruel hold

A captive of sorrow, so dark and cold

But still, I fight to find a way

To break free from this endless dismay

I seek solace in the whispers of the wind

In the gentle touch of a friend

In the beauty of a flower in bloom

In the promise of a brighter day, yet to loom

I cling to hope with trembling hands

As I navigate this desolate land

Of grief and pain, of sorrow and despair

Hoping for a light to lead me from there

I am in pain, a grief so deep

But still, I struggle to find a way to keep

My head above water, my heart afloat

In this sea of sorrow, this grief-filled boat

I know that one day, the pain will subside

That grief's cruel hold will finally slide

And I'll find peace in the quiet calm

A respite from sorrow's relentless charm

Until that day comes, I'll soldier on

Through the pain, the grief that has drawn

Me into its depths, its murky embrace

Hoping for a glimmer of light to chase

I am in pain, but I'm not alone

For grief's icy grasp has also shown

me the strength that lies deep within

A strength that will carry me through this din

I'll stand tall, with head held high

Facing the pain, the grief in the eye

Knowing that one day, I'll find my way

To a brighter, more hopeful day.
