The Embodiment Of Pain

I have endured pain beyond my years,

And lived in despair and sorrow,

Kneeling before the unfair woes,

I weep like a lost child,

Amongst the fearful unknown,

Desperately calling

To the mighty world of grief.

I have contained my fears

Inside a house of glass,

Where the fragile pieces

Break and spill,

Reminding me of my broken heart.

Life has forsaken and proclaimed a war,

Between my wearied mind and soul,

The embodiment of pain

I hold,

Carefully,

Quietly,

Like the longing to be alone,

Adrift from strangers,

This agony navigates my bones,

And in distress

I place my tears,

Where suffering is endless,

And darkness fathomless,

There is no other way for me,

It is the architecture

Of my destiny.
