Echoes of despair: Poems from the Abyss

Echoes of Pain: A Journey Through the Depths of the Soul

A pain so profound, it dulls all sensation,

Etched in the depths of my being, a relentless occupation,

I strive to embrace it, to make it my own,

Yet the heartache it brings, like seeds deeply sown.

Days, months, years pass by in a haze,

Drifting aimlessly, lost in a maze,

And yet, amidst the turmoil, a strange joy I find,

For nothing makes me feel more human, more kind.

Embarrassing and raw, this ache in my chest,

It pulses through me, an unwelcome guest,

But in its grip, I find a strange solace,

A reminder of my humanity, in its purest grace.

For pain, though bitter, is a part of the whole,

A testament to the depth of the soul,

And in its embrace, I find my truth,

A reminder of the resilience of youth.

So let it come, this pain that shoots my senses,

For in its wake, I find no pretenses,

Just the rawness of emotion, pure and true,

A testament to the depth of what it means to be you.
