Sorrow


Sorrow

Sorrow the pain that I strive to endure 

Throws me to the wall to which I am glued

The task of living a life so unsure

Hope to which burdens can alas diluate 

I wish tomorrow could have a brighter light

And darkness a memory, a past thought

But darkness so pitch black before the night

Another storm in my soul, faith uncaught

I must live on now for the day is near

That I shall see my happiness improved

With the smudge of sorrow forever clear

My soul, my heart shall continue to move

Sorrow is just the calm before the storm

A storm that makes way for peace and love forms
