Song of Sorrows







Life does not make it easy for us to go through.
It constantly puts walls in front of us for us to overcome.
It puts raging rivers and rough seas for us to cross.
It puts mountains for us to scale and concur.


So many of such experiences have ended me in the gloom.
The darkness of life engulfs me as I sit every night alone in my room.
With hope fading ever so far away.
Slowly slipping out of my hands.


The line that holds me sane gets ever thinner.
The stronghold that protects me get more and more fragile.
Day by day I slowly fade away.
Fading from the light and into the darkness.


Yet a sliver of possibility shines through the darkness.
As I reach for that ray of light.
I find that hope is not that far away after all.
Desire has given me wheels to chase after it.


As I stretch forth and pull myself forward.
I bear the pain and suffering.
From my mouth I release a scream.
The scream of pain.


That is the song of sorrows.
