Echoes Of Relief

Take away my pain, my relentless thoughts, That gnaw at the edges of my peace, The whisper of anxiety that lingers, Even in the quiet moments of rest. In dreams, I find no refuge, Just shadows of worry that stir the night, Confusion blurring the line Between what is real and what is imagined. Surround me not with this ceaseless ache, This burden I carry, heavy on my shoulders. While some wear their pain openly, Others hide it well behind a brave facade. They tell me I’m strong, that I always find light In the midst of darkness, that I rise above. Yet, they cannot see the tears I shed alone, The endless struggle with thoughts that invade. I’ve sought reasons for my suffering, Hoping to find solace in the struggle. But in the depths of pain, I crave only relief, A chance to heal, to escape this relentless weight. Sometimes, in the hurt, I glimpse a fragile beauty, Like a tattoo a fleeting mark of endurance, etched in pain. I yearn for tomorrow’s promise of peace, For healing, oh healing, to take away this pain.
