To those who have been broken, but still hold on.

ᯓᡣ𐭩₊˚⊹

Tears fall like rain, a familiar pain
Vulnerability exposed, again and again
I thought I'd never feel this way
But heartache found me, night and day

Your eyes, they pierced my soul
I gazed up at the ceiling, lost control
Moonlight witnessed my despair
As I wondered, "What's my purpose there?"

Abandoned as a child, I felt alone
Left to face the darkness, without a home
Life's struggles made me suffer, made me atone
For sins I didn't commit, for a life not my own

Now as an adult, peace eludes me still
A fleeting dream, a distant hill
I climb and climb, but never reach the top
Where serenity and calm, forever stop

Oh, God, I ask, "Why must I endure?"
Is suffering my fate, my life's allure?
Is peace a dream that only death can bring?
Or is it a myth, a heartless thing?

I search for answers, night and day
But silence greets me, in every way
I try to find solace, in love and light
But shadows follow, and haunt my sight

When will I find my peace?
Will it come in eternity's release?
Or will it find me, in this life's dark night?
Please tell me, when will I be free?

From this pain, this suffering, this misery?
From the weight of my heart, this burden I carry?
When will I find my peace, my sweet reprieve?
And know that I am loved, that I am free to breathe?
